Episode 37: Caring for Those Who Care, With Hyemi Sevening

On this episode of the NC State Philanthropy Podcast, we’re joined by Hyemi Sevening, assistant dean of philanthropy for the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM), to learn how donors can partner in its life-changing work. CVM is an invaluable component of NC State’s land-grant efforts, enabling the university to benefit animals — and people — across North Carolina and beyond. From training tomorrow’s veterinarians and ensuring the state’s food supply is safe to helping heal a beloved pet and much more, the college stands at the forefront of making the world a healthier and happier place through applied science. Medicine at CVM extends far beyond emergency care for cuts or broken bones, though. Oncology, cardiology, neurology and other specialized departments diagnose and treat all kinds of ailments in all kinds of animals. Much of the research taking place within the college’s cutting-edge facilities also holds implications for human health. As the only veterinary college in North Carolina, CVM provides an extraordinary philanthropic opportunity. Donors can benefit CVM’s students, faculty and staff through scholarships, professorships and programmatic support, as well as directly impact clients and patients of the college’s veterinary hospital by helping cover the costs of medical care. Whatever your veterinary passions, there’s a way to make your mark by giving to CVM.
