FVMA AWARDS DESERVING UFCVM GRADUATES WITH PRESTIGIOUS SCHOLARSHIPS The FVMA presented three scholarship awards during the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine’s virtual commencement ceremony, which streamed the afternoon of May 23, 2020. While the awards are traditionally presented in person, this year, due to COVID-19, FVMA President Dr. Mary Smart congratulated the 2020 graduating class and welcomed them into the profession via video. Slides acknowledging the award recipients were shown during the commencement ceremony. Drs. Chelsie Marie Price and Tyler Powers were presented with the FVMA Foundation Scholarship, and Drs.
