Broad Spectrum Veterinary Student
Association is entering its third year as the umbrella entity for the nation’s
LGBTQ student organization. First off, I would like to introduce myself your
newest national co-chair. My name is Leo Holguin, a current third year student
at WesternU. I will be joining Amanda Fischer, Cornell 2015, to help organize
and lead BSVSA for this upcoming year. I am excited to join BSVSA and look
forward to working with all the school chapters to make it a productive,
successful and fun year!
We have exciting plans for the upcoming year! We will see you at next year’s SAVMA symposium 2015 hosted by University of Minnesota. We are hoping to organize another student mixer where we can come together and enjoy the company of fellow students and allies. We are planning to have an information booth where students can ask questions and hopefully receive answer ;p We are also planning to attend the Iverson Bell Symposium 2015 where we can advocate for LGTBQ students and learn how to better meet student needs. We hope to see you there! And finally we will be invading Boston for the 2015 AVMA convention, where we will team up with the LGVMA to plan exciting events and give them support.

This past AVMA convention hosted by
Denver, I was able to participate and support the efforts of our parent
organization, LGVMA. I was able to meet the amazing leadership of the LGVMA Dr.
Sandy Hazanow and Dr. Ken Gorczyca. I had a wonderful time helping man the
LGVMA booth where I was able to talk to interested members of the veterinary
community and share my experience as a gay veterinary student. I also tagged
along to the “Out” night hosted by the LGVMA where we ate some delicious food
at Hamburger Mary’s then danced the night away! It was so much fun and I got to
meet amazing colleagues and new friends. I can’t wait for next year’s AVMA
convention and the shenanigans Boston will bring!
