The 2014 class of veterinary science students at Charles Sturt University (CSU) will mark the transition from university to professional life on Saturday 19 July. The 55 students will be welcomed to the profession in front of family, friends and staff from CSU's School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences.  'We are constantly amazed at the versatility and skills of our students. It is very pleasing to receive feedback from our local and international partners on how well this cohort of students has performed, especially in clinical situations, and to have confidence that they will take that into their professional life,"  said Head of the School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Professor Nick Sangster. Students will be led in the Veterinarian's Oath to practice their profession 'ethically and conscientiously' by CSU senior lecturer in Small Animal Medicine and representative of the Australian Veterinary Association Dr Geoff Gibbons. Several scholarships and prizes will be presented at the dinner including the $3 000 VetPrac Aesculap Academy Prize. Students will be awarded their degrees in a formal graduation ceremony at CSU in December.
