My name is Clara Young and I am a second-year veterinary student representing the College of Veterinary Medicine as a student senator. I grew up in central Illinois, but have had the privilege of calling Iowa "home" for the last four years. I attended Iowa State as an undergraduate studying animal science and am looking forward to continuing to grow with my University--working diligently to empower my fellow veterinary students to speak up and have their voices heard.
As rates of suicide within the veterinary profession continue to rise, I plan to prioritize work towards making mental health resources more accessible for students within the College of Veterinary Medicine. I intend to do so while continuing to advocate for transparency, equity, and inclusivity across campus.
