Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
Andrea Connor is currently an undergraduate student at Virginia Tech studying Animal and Poultry Sciences. Her research under Dr. Rebecca Cockrum looks into the effects of different factors on colostrum volume and quality in dairy cows, as well as the effects of colostrum on calf health and immunity. She is very excited to be a presenting author at this year's conference and is looking forward to future publication with the lab as their research continues. After her undergraduate education, Andrea hopes to matriculate into veterinary school and eventually pursue a career in public health and research veterinary medicine.
