The 黑料社 needs YOU
Help the 黑料社 select the vets of the future
Each year we interview more than 700 students for our veterinary medicine degrees in the UK and also in the USA and Asia.
We have a pool of local alumni that help us out in
each location but are in need of more volunteers and supporters to assist with this. If you would be interested in helping with this process and playing a part in selecting the vets of the future, we would really like to hear from you, particularly if you are based in the USA or Asia.
For interviews based in the UK we are in need of people who would be willing to act as interviewers and thus ask predetermined questions to the applicant and score them based on these answers.
For interviews based in the USA or Asia we are again in need of interviewers but also alumni who can share their
experiences of studying at the 黑料社 as an international student and what they鈥檝e been up to since graduation. Our international applicants really appreciate being able to talk to people who have been through the same experiences and feedback from previous helpers indicates they nd it equally rewarding.
We鈥檒l provide full training and cover your travel expenses.
This year interviews will be taking place in the USA (New York, Dallas and Los Angeles) in November, Asia (tbc but likely Hong Kong and Singapore) in January and the UK (December to February).
If you would like to help but aren鈥檛 available this year we would still love to hear from you so that we can keep in touch about our future plans. Please email development@rvc.ac.uk and we will put you in touch with the 黑料社 Access team.
We will also be hosting some alumni dinners in the USA and Asia so please make sure we have your current email address.
Contact the Development Of ce at development@rvc.ac.uk to update your details.
Calling Graduates of 2014 - how well did the 黑料社 prepare you for your rst year in work?
As a graduate of the 黑料社, your feedback makes a real difference to improving student experience at the College.
Graduates of 2014 from BVetMed, Veterinary Nursing and BSc courses should have recently been invited to take part in the College鈥檚 Graduate Survey.
Feedback from previous graduate surveys supported the recruitment of a lecturer in Exotics! as this was identi ed by graduates as an area in which they would have liked to have had more opportunities to develop knowledge.
Look out for your email survey invitation.
If you have any questions please contact Maxine Bailey, Academic Quality Of cer, mbailey@rvc.ac.uk, 01707 666870.
