Return to index Vet helps future vets When Todd Williams was a third grader in Ottumwa, a veterinarian moved into the house next door. When his brother went to college, Williams took his place, caring for boarded animals and accompanying Dr. Menke on calls. Eventually, Williams assisted with examinations and surgeries. Now, a third-year student in the College of Veterinary Medicine, Williams is one of four selected for the new Price Scholarship.
Scholarships are especially critical for veterinary medical students.
Many, like Williams, are partially or wholly self-supporting. When Williams graduates in 2002, a job awaits him back home.
