Class 2010

They came from Alabama, Massachusetts, California and New Jersey. Most were Midwesterners that made the journey from their Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota hometowns to Ames to study at Iowa State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine.

When the Class of 2010 first started classes in the fall of 2006, there were 120 in their class. Almost 80% were female. Their average age was 23 years. Most were coming directly from their undergraduate institutions.

Four years later the class had grown to 121 students and after graduation, like all graduating classes, they went their separate ways. Well, not all of them. Some married classmates. Others now work together.

A decade later, the Class of 2010 is spread around the globe working in a wide variety of careers in the veterinary profession.

What follows is a snapshot at where the Class of 2010 has gone and the amazing things they are doing in their communities – whether a large metropolitan area like Los Angeles or tiny Eldora, Iowa.

Each has made their mark. These are their stories.

Check back periodically as we continue to add to these stories. If you are a member of the Class of 2010 and would like to be included or have contact information on a class member not included please contact Dave Gieseke at dgieseke@iastate.edu.
