During the evening, WCVM Dean Dr. Douglas Freeman announced the winners of more than $104,000 in scholarships and prizes. While the majority of awards were handed out to students in the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) and graduate programs, the awards evening also included several awards for faculty and staff:
As the evening's finale, the 79 members of the WCVM's Class of 2017 lined up to officially receive their personalized white lab coats and stethoscopes from representatives of national and provincial veterinary medical associations. The annual White Coat Ceremony is an official welcome to the WCVM and to the veterinary profession for the veterinary college's first-year students.
The new students, who will graduate in 2017, come from communities across Western Canada and the northern territories. A commemorative booklet was also distributed to the students and their families as a memento of the special occasion.
