2018 CVM News: CVM student conducts research on cheetah nutrition in Africa

This news item from Wildlife is about: Greetings from Otjiwarongo, Namibia! My name is Elvina Yau and I am a rising 3rd year veterinary student at Cornell. My professional interests are quite varied, as I enjoy Small Animal Medicine, practice ownership, and wildlife conservation.
