Paula Meriwether of Mount Pleasant, Texas, was among 93 students earning a DVM degree from Oklahoma State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine on May 7, 2021. Meriwether is the daughter of Becky and Paul Meriwether of Mount Pleasant.
“We are proud of the class of 2021 for overcoming many challenges,” Dr. Carlos Risco, dean of the veterinary college said. “Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the class did not have a ceremony to mark their transition from three years in the classroom to clinics for their final year. With social distancing and other safety measures in place, the beginning of their clinical training looked different with minimal client contact and limited physical time in the clinic. Our students and faculty persevered and I am proud to call them colleagues.”
