KVMA SCHOLARSHIPS (CONT.)
LUKE TRAPP (2020-2021) “I have a background in food animal production. I grew up on a cow calf seedstock operation near Alexandria, KY where I exhibited Simmental cattle and market hogs across the state. I graduated in 2015 from Campbell County High School where I was active in 4-H and FFA, later to become a state vice president for the Kentucky FFA Association (serving the year of 2015-2016). I lived and worked at Morehead State University Derrickson Agriculture complex until graduating with my Bache- lors in science in 2019. During my time hear at Auburn University CVM (Started fall 2019) I have been involved in the dairy herd, served as past president of Amer- ican Association of Bovine Practitioners, and in the process of working in bovine bull research involving nutrition correlation with semen abnormalities.

As my clinical year fast approaches I am in the process of looking where to start my career. I have fallen in love with production medicine and equine reproduction. On the small animal side I have found an interest in internal medicine and preventative medicine. I don’t currently have any plans after graduation but would love to return to a rural mixed animal practice in my home state. May, 2023, is not far away.
Some fun things I have encountered/learned over the past three years here at Auburn University: • Buy extra of everything, especially thermometers. • Cats are unique in every way in veterinary medicine, and that’s putting it nicely. • Dr. Paul Rumph will be teaching anatomy forever, and he has forgotten more than I will ever remember. • Never stand around the barn with your mouth open, especially if you have a Johne’s case nearby • If at the end of the day you can’t smile, then you’re doing it wrong.”
