Congratulations to Katie Burden who has been awarded the inaugural University of Liverpool Veterinary Alumni Association (ULVAA) Final Year Student Award. Katie was nominated for this award by her fellow students. Over her five years at vet school she organised countless academic and social events as Third Year Rep, Fifth Year Rep and also LUVS President. As AVS Treasurer she represented the interests of students externally, and as SEVA Vice President she organised a fantastic SEVA Congress at Liverpool. She also found time to play rugby, netball and sing in the Leahurst Choir. Katie should be a huge inspiration to the rest of the student body. The Alumni Association is proud to recognise her valuable achievements and look forward to receiving nominations in future years. A call for nominations for next year’s award will be announced in 2019.
