Iowa State University, Class of 2013
The summer of 2010, I participated in the AVMA headquarters externship at the Schaumburg, Illinois location. I was assigned to the Education and Research division and quickly became familiar with the role of the AVMA in college accreditation within the states and abroad. The first day at the office was filled with excitement as well as a bit of apprehension. I was introduced to all the key players in the division starting with Dr. David Granstrom and Dr. Elizabeth Sabin, both in which were very influential in the role that I was to play as an AVMA extern. Dr. Granstrom gave me a tour of the building introducing me to everyone at the facility, many names and faces that I would try to keep together, and then had me settle down in my office and begin the research for my project.
