Linking RVC Students To The Alumni Network

What is RVC4Life?

RVC4Life is our community of current and past RVC students. Your relationship with the RVC does not end at graduation. We offer benefits and services to our alumni and keep them connected to the RVC via reunions, newsletters, networking events and an annual magazine; Eclipse.

How can it help me as a student?

  • RVC alumni can provide placement opportunities for current students, as well as employment opportunities for graduates, which we advertise through our online jobs board.
  • We raise funds, through our charity the RVC Animal Care Trust, to enable us to support student projects across the RVC through the Alumni Fund.
  • We provide hardship grants, matched funding for SU clubs and societies, summer research studentships, individual student awards, awards for overseas RP2 opportunities and more.

How can I get involved during my time at RVC?

  • You can become an ambassador/tour guide for our alumni reunions. This will enable you to network with alumni and learn about the various career paths graduates have taken.
  • You can become a volunteer for other similar events and also work on alumni campaigns and projects. You could also volunteer for the RVC Animal Care Trust to support with our charity work and help to raise awareness and funds.
