Kadie M. Anderson: I am currently seeking employment in a SA/Exotics practice in the Pacific and Mountain West. I will probably spend the time in between looking for a job by backpacking and camping and just enjoying summer!

Paul A. Brady: I will be working at a mixed animal practice in Lewistown, Montana after graduation.

Ashley M. Brooks: After graduation, I will be working in a small animal private practice in Las Vegas, Nev. This year, I will also go on my honeymoon in Bora Bora.

Kate Taylor Brown: My plan is to seek employment in an equine only or mixed animal practice in the Western US.

Annastasia E. Burright: I will be taking the summer off to spend much needed time with my amazing family: husband Richard, my two children Audrey and Thomas, and mother Barbara. We plan to go camping, fishing, and relaxing for much of the summer. In August, Richard and I will be exploring Australia together for the first time. I plan to work in a small animal practice in the Willamette Valley area beginning September 2011. I wish to acknowledge the incredible support my family has given me to make this dream come true — without them this would not have been possible!!”
