Young Alumni Events - Fall 2021

Planning for Your PET-tential New Friend
Thursday, Dec. 9, 2021 | 7:30-8:15 pm ET | Virtual

Are you thinking about adopting an adorable new friend and may be overwhelmed by all the things to consider? Join Renee Roy ’17G and Dr. Melissa Magnuson, veterinarian, practice owner and author of "Animality: How Pets and People Connect,” in learning ways to prepare for your newly adopted friend and how to best plan for your future together -- from choosing an adoption organization, to finding care and all the logistics thereafter. Renee and Dr. Magnuson will also discuss some of the challenges the veterinary industry is currently facing. Registration has closed for this event.

Renee Roy '17G
Client Service Manager at All Pets Veterinary Hospital in Nashua, NH

Renee graduated in 2014 from Rivier University where she received a bachelor’s degree in communications. While she’s always had a strong passion for animals, she gained an interest in the veterinary industry while volunteering at an event for Monadnock Kitty Rescue & Adoption, which helped to raise money for a new shelter and place abandoned cats in loving homes. In 2017, she was awarded her master’s degree in communications from Southern New Hampshire University with a focus in public relations and crisis communications. Renee is a published author who has been featured in several magazines. When she is not busy working on her latest article, she enjoys spending time with her family and four cats Oakley, Annabelle, Figaro and Domino.

Dr. Melissa Magnuson
Owner of Canobie Lake Veterinary Hospital in Windham, NH (sister site to All Pets) 

Dr. Melissa Magnuson is a native of Southern Minnesota, where she grew up on a small pig and cattle farm. Ever since she can remember, she’s wanted to be a veterinarian and fulfill her lifelong passion of helping animals. With a degree in biology and philosophy from Hamline University in St. Paul, MN, she went on to work on a master’s degree at Southern Mississippi University. From there, she completed her doctorate in veterinary medicine at the University of Minnesota in 1998.

Her internship in small animal medicine, surgery and emergency medicine brought her to the east coast. She has a special interest in surgery, emergency medicine, and avian and exotic animal care. Because she absolutely LOVES veterinary medicine, she never feels like she’s at work. She feels lucky to have found her passion.

Dr. Magnuson is married to her best friend, Andy, with whom she has three beautiful daughters. Her pets include four dogs, three cats, a bird, a bearded dragon and a guinea pig. In her spare time, she enjoys being with her family outdoors, biking, hiking, swimming and reading.
