Stephanie Bandoski – Cornell University

Stephanie’s focus is dairy reproduction. Taking every opportunity inside and outside of veterinary school, she acquired a wide skill set of Assisted Reproductive Technologies. On her own initiative she launched an extracurricular educational program in bovine reproduction and inspired other students to participate. She worked on private and university dairies in various capacities, attended all possible continuing education offerings, and participated in a wide range of private practice experiences. At Cornell she led an investigation into an outbreak of a papilloma virus in a dairy herd.  Stephanie will maintain her impetus on dairy reproduction at Valleywide Veterinary Services in Vermont.
