Platt College faculty member recognized for advancing student success in veterinary technology
RIVERSIDE, Calif., Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Platt College is proud to announce that Dr. Trudy Golub-Sowers, DVM, Clinical Director of Veterinary Technology at its Riverside campus, is the 2026 recipient of the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges' (ACCSC) Commitment to Education Award. The award recognizes her sustained dedication to student success. She will be honored at ACCSC's Professional Development Conference, taking place September 16โ18 in San Antonio, Texas.
"Dr. Golub-Sowers embodies the qualities of an exceptional educator, mentor, and leader," said Jaime Wallin, RVT, Program Director of Veterinary Technology at Platt's Riverside campus. "Her integrity, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to student success make her an invaluable member of our faculty."
"Trudy is deeply committed to helping students succeed throughout their education and into their careers, while also strengthening the connections between our students, the veterinary profession, and the communities we serve. This recognition from ACCSC is a well-deserved reflection of the dedication, expertise, and care she brings to Platt College every day," said Megan Clifton, Vice President of Academic and Regulatory Affairs at Platt College.
Dr. Golub-Sowers' contributions to Platt's Veterinary Technology programs extend well beyond her regular teaching responsibilities. She works closely with graduates preparing for the Veterinary Technician National Examination (VTNE), helping support strong and steadily improving first-time pass rates. She has also expanded student externship opportunities through new clinical partnerships, including an emergency veterinary hospital and a local equine hospital. In addition to her work at Platt, she continues to practice veterinary medicine each week, remaining actively involved in patient care and supporting their pet parents. This ongoing clinical experience enables her to bring current, real-world veterinary knowledge and firsthand field experiences into the classroom, helping students connect academic concepts with practical application. She also regularly volunteers alongside students at community veterinary service clinics and outreach events serving economically disadvantaged communities through the Southern California Veterinary Medical Association and other organizations.
Platt College's Veterinary Technology Associate of Science degree is accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and is offered at campuses in Alhambra, Anaheim, Ontario, and Riverside, as well as through Distance Education. The program can be completed in as little as 19 months and prepares students for careers in veterinary medicine through a combination of classroom instruction, hands-on laboratory training, and clinical experience.ย Additional information on Platt College's Veterinary Technology program can be found here.
