Web Pages

Setting up a web page for your specialty club is fairly easy. CaTS does all of the HTML programming for you, all you have to do is design how you want the page to look.
To set up an initial web page, the easiest way is to set up an MS Word document, and design it how you would like your page to look. Type in any text that you want on the page, and insert pictures into the page where you want them to appear on the web page. Your finished Word document should look pretty much how you would like your page to appear. If you will be having more than one page, be sure to note that on your primary page, and title each additional page. If you would like links to other websites put in on your page, just make sure to underline what you want linked, and to list the link addresses in parentheses so that CaTS knows what to link the words or picture to. Put your Word document onto a disk, along with separate files of any pictures that you used on your web page, and take to CaTS. The person in charge of doing web pages is Joe Nisil, but if he is not available, there are usually other people that work with him who would be able to assist you.
To update or change an existing web page, you can do it a variety of ways. You can take the information in person to Joe Nisil in CaTS and just tell him what you want changed, or you can e-mail webupdate@vet.ksu.edu with the changes that you want made. If you have a MS Word document copy of the web page, you can make the changes to the Word document the way you want them, highlight your changes with color or some other way to make them stand out, and then e-mail the document as an attachment to webupdate@vet.ksu.edu. This is probably the best way to do update your page to ensure that the changes are made in exactly the way that you want them.

Club Meetings/Events

There are no requirements for club meetings other than what each individual club may have in their charter. However, SCAVMA does ask that each club make an effort to avoid conflicts with other clubs by scheduling meetings that don’t conflict with already scheduled meetings of other clubs. To further this, SCAVMA provides a wall calendar in the basement lounge of Trotter Hall for clubs to write down their meeting dates and times so that other clubs may try to avoid conflicts.
Individual clubs may occasionally provide wet-labs, continuing education conferences, field trips, etc.
Wet-labs have no requirements unless live animals will be used. In the event of live animal usage, all animals must be entered into the VMTH computers, and approved by the VMTH business office. For more information on using live animals in wet-labs, and the requirements, please contact Bertie Lovett in the VMTH business office.
Continuing education conferences put on by individual clubs must be scheduled through Linda Johnson in ITC, and are eligible for up to $1000 in reimbursement costs from SCAVMA, as listed under Rules and Regulations on the SCAVMA web page.
