VISA - Veterinary International Student Association

Massey’s Veterinary International Student Association is a student led initiative that aims to connect veterinary students studying abroad in Palmerston North, NZ. The groups aims to provide a sense of community and belonging, by allowing students to form connections with others who have shared experiences.

There are a range of events and opportunities held each year which aim to foster these connections and offer support.

You can connect with VISA on their Facebook group, or alternatively email the International Student representative on visamassey@gmail.com.

Student Representative 2026

Hello everyone! My name is Carrie and I’m so excited to be this year’s International Student Rep.

I’m from Southern California, and I’m interested in many different areas of vet med, but particularly wildlife, exotics, and non-profit groups which work with unhoused pet owners.

Living in New Zealand and adjusting to life away from home has its challenges, but I’m here to support y’all and have fun along the way!

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need anything, I’m happy to help where I can.
