What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?This profect required students to participate in 3important training/professional development opportunites: 1) Completion of a DVM DiversiKey Certificate program - students learn about general topics in social justice and diversity, as they apply to academic veterinary medicine. Students are required to attend specific events, complete reflections on these events, and perform community service.Topics covered include: microaggressions (in the classroom, in the clinic); LGBTQ-friendly practices (for schools, colleges and clinics) and cultural norms and practices that could affect how different individuals approach and make decisions on care for their animals (eg. some religions are not accepting of euthansia). 2) The Iverson Bell Symposium or regional Summit - issues of diversity and inclusion as they apply to academic veterinary medicine and vet med practice post-graduation are explored. 3) Study Abroad - where students learn about veterinary medicine practices in countries other than the U.S., and develop an knowledge of and appreciation for different cultures, and cultural approaches to animal care and/or public health. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Via oral presentations (see3 aforementioned presentations). What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?

Through this COE, PVM is now offering online certificate programs nationally to faculty, staff, students, interns/residents (at veterinary schools and colleges), as well as to practitioners and clinic staff. (Increasing intercultural competence) * Last reporting period, theMSPScholars Roundtable was expanded to include the PVMA2RC (Access to Animal-Related Careers)graduates who are currently enrolled in the DVM program, alongside the MSP Scholars. The purpose for this expansion was to encourage and maintain a flourishing community of multicultural DVM students within the Purdue College of Veterinary Medicine environment. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest? Via group discussions at the Midwest Regional Iverson Bell Summit, West Lafayette, IN (May, 2014). This Summit is co-organized by Purdue University and Michigan State Colleges of Veterinary Medicine and covers topics related to "Diversifying the Curriculum" within academic veterinary medicine. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals? Continue with the current format, particularly the mentoring piece, to advise and support the 1 remaining Scholar who will graduate next year in the employment search process. Continue the mentoring aspects provided by expanded MSP/A2RC Scholars Roundtable to encourage a flourishing community of multicultural DVM students within the Purdue College of Veterinary Medicine environment. Continue and expand opportunities for all faculty, staff and students to increase their intercultural competencies and maintain an inclusive climate that is welcoming to all.

Progress Report. The 2010 USDA NIFA Award 0010-38413-20628 supported four Purdue DVM students. The objective of this award was to recruit, retain and graduate a cohort of Scholars while providing them the mentorship and opportunities necessary to become leaders. Three Scholars completed the PVM MSP requirements, passed the NAVLE, graduated in May 2014, and are currently employed; the fourth is in her clinical (4th and final) year and will graduate in May 2015. Personal impact statements from Scholars can be found at: www.vet.purdue.edu/diversity/usda-msp.php. Jasmine Coe is employed at a small animal medicine clinic in Los Angeles, CA, and wants to work in a mixed animal practice in the future. Julio Alonso Lecumberry is employed as a veterinarian for animals involved in the production of movies and TV shows, overseeing their care and welfare onsite during filming. Allison (Allie) Joe is practicing urban veterinary medicine in a clinic in Chicago, and plans to become involved in organized veterinary medicine and advocacy. She accompanied Dean Reed during the 2013 AAVMC “Advocacy Day”, when representatives from academic veterinary medicine made over 100 legislative visits to Congress. The fourth Scholar, Dana Thomas, has completed 9/10 of the requirements, and will complete the DVM DiversiKey certificate program requirements in May 2015. Her active participation in the Veterinarians as One in Culture and Ethnicity (VOICE) chapter, the USDA MSP Scholar monthly meeting, and peer mentoring, is still required. In summary, 3/4 of the PVM MSP 2010 Scholars completed all programmatic pieces, have graduated, and are employed. The fourth Scholar, Dana Thomas, will complete her final program requirement (the DVM DiversiKey Certificate) before her graduation in May 2013.

OUTPUTS: Progress Report: 2010 USDA NIFA Award 0010-38413-20628 funds supported four Purdue DVM students. Three out of three out of the four are advancing to their third year. These three MSP Scholars exhibit ongoing active participation in all the required components of the program. They all completed a Study Abroad SEL in Summer 2011. They will complete the DVM DiversiKey Certificate Program with a capstone presentation in May 2013. The fourth student left the DVM program due to poor academic performance. This student, who struggled academically in Year 1, was offered a vigorous academic intervention at the start of Year 2, but refused it. The PVM USDA MSP 2010 Scholars are listed below: MSP Scholar #1: "The USDA MSP scholar has helped me learn about how diversity plays a role in everything we do, especially our career and interpersonal relations. It has helped me interact better with other members of the Purdue Veterinary Medicine and discuss problems we share, and be more prepared in studying for my future career." This Scholar serves as the Veterinary Business Management Association (VBMA) Fundraising Chair, the Exotics club treasurer, and a PVM Ambassador. This Scholar is interested in exotic animal medicine/small animal medicine. MSP Scholar #2: "Being a scholar has helped me greatly with the cost of attending vet school. It has helped me develop great relationships with faculty and staff. It has helped me become more professional and organized." This Scholar is the 2012-2013 National President of VOICE, and the Lead PVM Ambassador. This Scholar is interested in Mixed Animal General Practice, Emergency Veterinary Medicine and Regulatory Medicine. MSP Scholar #3: "Being a USDA-MSP scholar has meant so much to my experience at Purdue. Not only was it a great way for me to immediately feel comfortable with other students in the program, it gave me the opportunity to find faculty that were willing to help me. This program has also encouraged me to get involved in other programs and lectures on campus that I may not have attended or even known about if I were not in the program." This Scholar is the President of the PVM Bookstore, the 2012-2013 Purdue chapter VOICE president, the International Programs student representative, and the Lynn Hall Fitness Club Vice-President of Activities. This Scholar is interested in Small animal/general practice, Mixed Animal and International Veterinary Medicine. In summary, 3/4 of the PVM MSP 2010 Scholars have completed 8/9 of the PVM MSP programmatic pieces. These Scholars are all making excellent progress on the final programmatic piece (DVM DiversiKey) with expected completion by May 2013. These Scholars have also completed the required SEL Study Abroad experience. In Fall 2012, a fourth Scholar was added to this cohort, replacing a Scholar who left the program in Summer 2012. This new Scholar is beginning the second year of the DVM program with a strong academic record. PARTICIPANTS: Kauline Cipriani Davis - Project Director providing overall oversight and coordination of all programmatic requirements Henry Green - attends monthly meetings, provides both individual and mentorship to Scholars. Oversees career planning. Sandra San Miguel (formely Amass) - attends monthly meetings, provides both individual and mentorship to Scholars. Oversees volunteer and outreach activities. Willie Reed - attends monthly meetings, provides both individual and mentorship to Scholars. TARGET AUDIENCES: Target audiences are those seeking to successfully recruit, admit and graduate a more diverse student body. PROJECT MODIFICATIONS: Not relevant to this project.
Impacts
Products of the Project: 3 current PVM MSP Scholars advancing to the third year in the DVM Program; a new MSP Scholar added in Fall 2012. MSP Scholars who are in highly visible positions of student leadership within the College. Outcomes of the Project: Other PVM students seeking to join the PVM MSP. A 2012 proposal to USDA NIFA to build on our current success and fund a second cohort of PVM MSP Scholars. Students who visit at booth at recruiting events specifically asking about the possibility of being a PVM MSP Scholar, should they be admitted to PVM. Future Initiatives: For current PVM MSP Scholars to continue to advance in their academic program while completing the PVM MSP programmatic pieces. Impact: The success of the 2010 PVM MSP Scholars continues to fuel our desire to expand the program by recruiting, admitting, matriculating and graduating a more diverse PVM DVM student body. This is already evident in the Fall 2011 DVM class (Class of 2015) where 21/84 or 25% of the class are URVM students. It has also prompted the project directors to seek to expand the program by applying for more USDA NIFA funds so that more students can be served and we can attain the ultimate goal of a larger, more diverse veterinary workforce whose members exhibit increased intercultural competence.

2010 USDA NIFA Award 0010-38413-20628 funds supported four incoming Purdue DVM students (Julio Lecumberry Alonso, Orville Bramwell, Jasmine Coe, and Allison Joe) who are all advancing to their second year. These MSP Scholars have all actively participated in: monthly roundtables, DVM peer mentoring, DVM DiversiKey, the VOICE student chapter; created individualized professional focus profiles; and attended the 2011 Iverson Bell Symposium. Three students studied abroad during the summer, and one student participated in the PVM Summer Research Scholars Program. PVM MSP Scholars provided mentorship to P-12 students by serving as Boiler Vet Camp counselors and PVM Ambassadors who work with children at community centers and schools. The 2010 PVM USDA MSP Scholars are leaders in student organizations: Julio Alonso is the Vice-President of the Veterinary Business Management Association; Orville Bramwell is the Secretary for VOICE, a PVM Ambassador, and on the 2012 Student Chapter of the American Veterinary Medical Association (SAVMA) Planning Committee. Jasmine Coe is Vice-President of VOICE and a PVM Ambassador; Allison Joe is the manager of the Student Bookstore, on the 2012 SAVMA Planning Committee and the Co-Chair for the school's annual picnic. [SAVMA includes 29 student chapters with a total membership of over 10,000 students. For the first time in 15 years, PVM will be hosting the 2012 SAVMA Symposium (www.vet.purdue.edu/scavma/ SAVMASymposium.htm)]. In summary, 4/4 2010 MSP Scholars have completed or are in the process of completing 6/9 of the PVM MSP programmatic pieces (numbers 1-5, 7 from list on pg 13). Also, 3/4 MSP Scholars have completed 2/9 of these pieces (8-9 from list). Finally, 3/4 Scholars have completed a Study Abroad experience. PRODUCTS: 4 current PVM MSP Scholars advancing to the second year in the DVM Program. OUTCOMES: Other PVM students seeking to join the PVM MSP. A 2011 proposal to USDA NIFA to build on our current success and fund a second cohort of PVM MSP Scholars. DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES: N/A FUTURE INITIATIVES: For current PVM MSP Scholars to continue to advance in their academic program while completing the PVM MSP programmatic pieces.
