There’s currently a lot of drama with Unilever and Magnum, so much so that Jerry resigned and left the company (Ben is still campaigning against them, just from the inside). So can we partner with Jerry himself?
As the director of illiteracy, I vote for partnering with Jerry himself
I heard about this and I had no idea they were owned by Unilever prior
They got bought in….. 2010? 2011? But there were stipulations in the contract that Ben and Jerry still had primary decision making and could lead their social justice movements and what not.
I was surprised to hear that they would sell out to a conglomerate but looking at Unilever's history they didn't start to have multiple major controversies in a row until the 2010s. But I guess being socially left doesn't necessarily mean you're against capitalism.
The board went behind Ben and Jerry's (the people) backs to make the sale
That one was rough 🥲
Guess it depends how the cookie crumbles with the 4th year scheduling lottery. Afaik they're both still there but I didn't have any rotations with either of them.
Oh yeah the actual VTH ag department isn't great. There just isn't a high case load either. The external rotations were (and probably still are) the way to go. There were issues keeping boarded Ag clinicians after Dr. Barrington and Parrish retired
This sounds terrible. Does your class have a faculty member appointed to your cohort to serve as a 'liaison' of sorts?
We do and fortunately I'm in the group of student representatives that meets with her. The big problem is that she is buddy-buddy with the anatomy professor. I'm taking spring break to make sure I have a level head but will likely be taking this higher up the chain. Many of my classmates have similar experiences with this professor.
Yeah we no longer have an ag department at the VTH it is all strictly ambulatory now 🙁 Our ag med II course is taught by a current CSU prof who flies out to Pullman to teach us. And the large animal surgery elective is overseen by two equine surgeons (Dr. Hall and Dr. Farnsworth). The last ag clinician left WSU last semester because they wouldn't hire another one.
I do not miss that class. Good luck, you got it!
Thank you! It's rough out here lol
Hello, I know I'm late but New Hampshire would also like some contract seats please!
Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Maine, and Connecticut.
can't forget about Penn
VMCVM has contract seats for them, however now that the other school is in the works, we shall see if those seats still stand
This made me lol imagining a map of the US that is only the gulf states and the southwest 😅
And also just Canada basically
The east has mountains too! It's like basically all mountain!
I was about to argue but it looks like Mount Mitchell is 2-3x taller than our tallest mountain.
Ok but have you considered that some places have…NO large hills 😭
I have forgotten what mountains look like. There's one big hill in Saint Paul and that's it.
Lol this is so funny to me as a flat-lander because when I went to southeast Minnesota for the first time I was like, "I didn't know Minnesota had mountains!" and my partner was like those are barely even hills 😭
I like going to other states in the Midwest because Illinois is probably the flattest of them all (I've never been to Iowa or Missouri so idk). I guess we got rid of anything even remotely hill-like hundreds of years ago. Cuz I'll drive through Indiana or Wisconsin or Michigan and be like wow there's some variation to the terrain here! When it's like... a 20 ft incline lmao
A vast majority of people I’ve spoken with at accepted student days are deciding between multiple acceptances. The huge increase in applications over the past few years led so many to apply to way more schools “just in case”. Between the student loan situation and more seats going to fewer people, I think the waitlists are going to move with haste come April 15th.
It's so weird, like 6 months ago I thought I wouldn't have cared how I delivered but now I'm a little bummed that I might miss out on the experience. We are 90% set on being one and done
Once I hit 24hrs we started having the c-section talk if the suction / episiotomy failed and I felt similarly when previously I thought I didn’t care. Your feelings are valid. My aunt had my cousin successfully turned from breech, but regardless, C-sections births are still births! Hoping you get the birth you want and a healthy baby.
I’d probably take the closer option that pays better…besides the time investment, gas to drive that far daily really adds up and eats into your salary, especially if the world events continue on their current trajectory and oil prices keep rising.
