Welcome!
We are the Oregon State University Chapter of the International Veterinary Students' Association (IVSA). Our chapter is incredibly active year-round with symposiums, guest lectures, fundraising for student scholarships, and planning of our annual service trip to Nicaragua.
Our mission follows the goals of our parent association:
- To raise the overall standard of veterinary education by increasing the international and inter-cultural exchange of ideas and knowledge.
- To promote opportunities for veterinary students to undertake education in important areas outside their normal training - for example, management, welfare and environmental issues, technical language training, and specialization unique to another country.

How can you help? - Sponsor A Nicaraguan Animal
You can help by sponsoring the care of a Nicaraguan dog. For $20 dollars, we send you a photo and story about the animal that was in our care including a description of the type of care provided for the animal. You would be sent this information in December of 2017, just in time to make a great Christmas present gift for any dog lover. Of course, if you would prefer to adopt a Nicaraguan horse, cow, chicken or hog on someone’s behalf (or your own) just let us know on the form!
