As you know, we have not yet seated our charter class. Since we do not currently have dental medicine students to tell you about their experiences, we asked our latest WesternU charter class graduates, from the College of Veterinary Medicine (DVM), to tell you what it's like to be the first students in a new program at WesternU.
Jonathan Williams, DVM
DVM, Class of 2008
Benefits of being a charter class/2nd class member: Being one of the first classes allows you to set the reputation of the school. People may doubt your skills because you are from the new school, but that gives you a chance to prove your worth and show off your WesternU education! 
Jennie Magee, DVM
DVM, Class of 2007
Benefits of being a charter class member: The staff at WesternU is very concerned with making a program that will allow its students to succeed in their chosen field. They are constantly asking for feedback and doing reviews. This is your opportunity as a student in a new program to give them your input and help shape the program to be something that you are proud to have graduated from. 
DVM Student, Class of 2008
Benefits of being a charter class/2nd class member: It was great to be one of the first classes because we witnessed the program unfold and begin developing right in front of our eyes! We also had a lot of input as to how things were going, and our feedback was valued immensely - it felt great to be an integral part of such a different and budding new program. Best advice: Choosing to study at WesternU is a great way to become a self-sufficient professional, learn to work with others, and make contacts (where you have rotations) very early on in your career. 
DVM Student, Class of 2007
Benefits of being a charter class member: It's a big challenge but it is very rewarding as well. You have an opportunity to help mold the program. You can give feedback and actually see changes and improvements based on your experiences. |
