A Charles Sturt University (CSU) veterinary science student has won the $12 000 Greenham Dairy Scholarship for 2013. Ms Katherine Lang, from the Victorian town of Tatura, is in her fifth year of a Bachelor of Veterinary Biology/Bachelor of Veterinary Science at the School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences at CSU in Wagga Wagga. The Greenham Dairy Scholarship was established by HW Greenham and Sons Pty Ltd in 2000 to ‘encourage young people to make a commitment to the improvement of the dairy industry through education’. CSU students won the Greenham Dairy Scholarship in 2009, 2010 and 2012. Ms Lang said, “I have a strong interest in the future of the dairy industry in Australia. I grew up on a dairy farm in regional Victoria and I plan to work as a veterinary scientist in the dairy industry.” Ms Lang will use the scholarship to fund a four-week work placement from late October at the University of California (UC) Davis in the USA. She will be based in UC’s Dairy Teaching and Research Facility which includes a milking herd of 100 cows.
