Announcements For Feb. 21 - Feb. 27
• CLINIC OPPORTUNITY: Knights Landing applications are now open. Applications are due March 18. What is Knights Landing One Health Clinic (KLOHC)? KLOHC is a 3 part program that includes a pre-vet class, committee membership, and clinic volunteering. Volunteers will have a quarter commitment and be expected to come enroll in a FAP92/192 course, and be directly involved with Knights Landing One Health Vet Clinic by volunteering at clinic hours during and outside of the clinic. Class is every Monday (6:10 PM - 7:00 PM) and clinic is every 3rd Sunday of the month. Schedule conflicts with either the pre-vet class time or the clinic hours will not affect your selection. Selection is COMPETITIVE. You MUST have signed up to be a PSSD member to take part in this course. PSSD officers will select program members/volunteers based on your KLOHC application AND your PSSD application responses (which you can go back and change!). To access the application, please follow this link.
