What experiences are shaping your personal and professional growth this summer?

Dr. Kris and ANSC student Yisela Shooman happened upon each other at the Bowie Petco in August! Yisela was working a Vetco shift and Dr. Kris was participating in an adoption event for Bowie C.L.A.W. (Citizens for Local Animal Welfare), helping her foster kittens find furever homes. This little bundle of fluffy kitten joy is named "Peony" and she is available for adoption!🐈
