WELCOME TO

Who are we?

Kia Ora!
We are ‘MUVSA’, the Massey University Veterinary Student Association and the official representation of Veterinary students studying at Massey University in Aotearoa, New Zealand.

We exist to represent Massey veterinary students and advocate for their needs, interest and well-being. We work hard to provide students with support and balance throughout the Veterinary degree as well as foster a sense of belonging and community to enrich our lives as students, both within our own college and the wider Veterinary community. This includes investing in mental health initiatives, offering options for academic help, providing career development opportunities and guest lectures, and organising many social extracurriculars, such as quiz nights, sports teams, and whole school events. We also work in close collaboration with key industry stakeholders such as the NZVA and MAS, and we are always grateful for their continued support.

The committee consists of an executive team of passionate students, as well as class representatives in each year of the veterinary degree. This creates effective communication between staff, students and year levels across the entire school, enabling us to effectively lead discussions with the School of Veterinary Science and other organisations on behalf of the student body.

We are always open to suggestions, recommendations, and offers of external collaboration and support so please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
