Animal Science Major, Preveterinary Medicine/Research Option
When Caroline gave a guest lecture to Careers in Animal Science students on "How to Make the Most of Your Undergraduate Time at RU", she spoke from her own experience. After learning to care for, and work with, pigs, sheep, and goats in farm practicum and Animal Handling and Fitting courses, she became an undergraduate teaching assistant for both Swine Practicum and Small Ruminant Practicum as well as Comparative Mammalian Anatomy and Animal Nutrition Lab. Her study-abroad experience (CELA Belize) provided an international perspective.
Caroline immersed herself in equine nutrition research with Dr. Carey Williams during her last two years at SEBS and graduated as a G. H. Cook Scholar after completing her honors thesis titled "Forage Recovery in Rotational vs. Continuous Pasture Systems after Intensive Horse Grazing". She was an active member of the Society of Animal Science and the Rutgers University Veterinary Science Club. With the Society of Animal Science, Caroline competed in the annual intercollegiate NESA competition. At NESA, she placed 4th in Team Quiz Bowl in 2017 and 1st as an Individual Research Presenter in 2018. Now a DVM candidate at the Kansas State University Veterinary Medical College, she credits her success in vet school to all the varied experiences.
