WCVM students receive scholarships

Dr. Tyler Corbeill (WCVM 2009)

Four WCVM students recently received scholarships during two of the most popular livestock events in Western Canada. As part of the Canadian Finals Rodeo in Edmonton, veterinary students Tyler Corbiell of Cluny, Alta., Angela Oakley of Edmonton, Alta., and Terence Goslin of Saskatoon, Sask., were recipients of the 2008 Bill Kehler Memorial Scholarships.

Kehler was a longtime broadcaster, rodeo announcer and an enthusiastic supporter of Western Canada’s agriculture industry. The $2,500 scholarships are annually awarded to students with academic interests in broadcasting or agriculture, or to post-secondary students who are involved in professional rodeo.

During the Canadian Western Agribition in Regina, Sask., veterinary student Karen Wagner was among the 2008 recipients of the Canadian Western Agribition’s $1,000 post-secondary scholarships. Wagner has been a participant in Agribition livestock and other agricultural competitions for the past five years.
