JODY SEWARD RECEIVES STUDENT RECOGNITION AWARD

	COLUMBUS -- Jody Seward of BOLIVAR, a veterinary medicine 
student, has received The Ohio State University Board of Trustees 
Student Recognition Award. The award was presented during the May 
3 meeting of the board.

	Seward was honored for his work as vice president of the 
Interprofessional Council, a governing organization of 
professional students at Ohio State, and coordinating a mentoring 
program between professional students at Ohio State and Everett 
Middle School students in Columbus.

	"Because students are at an impressionable age, the peer 
mentoring program provides them with encouragement to stay in 
school and think about possible career choices," Seward said. 
"I have gained a great deal of insight from this experience."

	Seward is the president of the College of Veterinary 
Medicine Student Council and a member of the student chapter of 
the American Veterinary Medical Association.

	Seward graduated from Fairless High School in 1991 and is 
the son of Larry and Sheryl Seward, 8971 Dolphin St. He plans to 
pursue a career in veterinary medicine and is scheduled to 
receive his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Ohio State 
in June 1997.
