Meet our EWC Vet Tech Graduates 2026 🎓🐾

We are excited to highlight one of our 2026 graduates, Gwen, from the Eastern Wyoming College Veterinary Technology program!

Today we have a little help from Gwen’s trusty sidekick, Remi!!

"GUESS WHAT?! My favorite human Gwen is officially a graduate of the Eastern Wyoming College Veterinary Technology program! 🎓🐾

I’ve been by her side through all the late-night studying, and I even let her practice her tech skills on me (I'm a very good patient, obviously).

She says her time growing up on the ranch with horses and dogs like me inspired her to do this, and now it’s finally happening!
I’m so proud that she already has a job lined up at a mixed animal practice. She says she’s excited to work with other "cool" dogs, but she’s also looking forward to those "interesting" cows—even if they always have some strange disease!

She’s not stopping there, though. Between our hikes and outdoor adventures, she’s still taking online classes for her Bachelor’s in Fish and Wildlife Management and getting ready for her VTNE exam to become certified. I don't know what all those big words mean, but I know she's the best!

Way to go, Gwen! I’m ready for our next big adventure!" 🦴🐕🏔️

While she loves all creatures, Kyan has a special bond with horses. She feels a deep understanding of them and finds that they always have a unique way of making those around them feel better.

What’s next for Kyan? She will be heading into her next chapter with her trusty sidekick, Mo, by her side! Her future goals include specializing as an equine tech or working primarily with horses to continue her work as an equine healer.
