Part of the invitation was to offer veterinary school students, staff and faculty a chance to participate in a collaborative mural they could help paint as part of the conference. Her keynote includes a screening of the short film 'Rockford Taking Flight' and photos of her collaborative art efforts in southeastern Wisconsin and Illinois.

 

The Iverson Bell Summit is named for the first African-American veterinarian to hold the position of Vice President in the American Veterinary Medical Association. The primary goal of the summit is to promote diversity and inclusion in veterinary medicine, with special attention to academia.
