The VetPAC Internship is a unique and competitive leadership program in which Pre-Veterinary students are provided the opportunity and challenge of developing and coordinating events, activities, and initiatives under the mentorship of VetPAC Program Director, Dr. Shweta Trivedi. Interns will network with professionals in the field, attend special conferences, and will earn up to two credit hours of On-Campus Learning Experience (OCLE) elective hours. Selected interns will also be provided a VetPAC Intern Name Badge and a VetPAC Intern Polo to wear during events and their weekly office shifts. Internship participants also have the option to combine the internship with school credit via ANS 492 or BSC 492. This is to be determined by the NCSU course coordinator (more information below).
