Happy Holidays from Penn Vet!
Body Worlds: Animal Inside Out Event - ALUMNI SURVEY
Hello! My name is Jennifer Speeckaert, and am a first year PennVet student. I'm working with SCAVMA and Alumni Affairs in the hopes of putting together a PennVet wide event at the Franklin Institute. The Body Worlds: Animal Inside Out exhibit will be there from October to April, and so many people have expressed interest we would like to put something together. The ideal goal would be to have students, faculty and staff, and alumni all together to learn from each other and bond over the opportunity to see some amazing animal bodies. Here is a link to the exhibit: https://www.fi.edu/exhibit/body-worlds-animal-inside-out.
I've created this survey to see how much interest there is, and how much of an event we can plan. If enough people want to participate, we'd like to host a happy hour event! Please respond by Sunday, October 5th, so that we can start to plan the best possible event.
