Cumulus Fund Assists Equine Residents

Thanks to the Cumulus Fund in Equine Medicine in the College of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Katheryn Johnson's dream is one step closer to becoming a reality.

The award, established by Susan Aschenbrenner and her husband John, helps support the residency program in equine medicine at Iowa State. In the past the fund has assisted residents with expenses associated with research activities, publication expenses and conference expenses and travel.

Johnson was assisted when the Cumulus Fund paid for her board exam fees from the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM).

"The Cumulus Fund provided the financial support to cover the cost for my ACVIM board exam and it has brought me one step closer to my dream of becoming a specialist in equine internal medicine,” Johnson said.
