Jordan Fairman, Enoch Kraycik and Benjamin Luksic: Commonwealth One Health Scholarships

Penn Vet has announced three first-year recipients of its Commonwealth One Health Scholarship, which provides a full tuition subsidy for four years at Penn Vet. The Class of 2020 recipients—all of whom are from Pennsylvania—are Jordan Fairman, from Dubois; Enoch Kraycik, from Bethlehem; and Benjamin Luksic, from Bernville.

“Penn Vet recognizes the important role of veterinarians in production agriculture, especially here in Pennsylvania,” said Joan C. Hendricks, the Gilbert S. Kahn Dean of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. “The Commonwealth One Health Scholarship helps us attract the best and brightest to Penn Vet. The scholarship also helps us in our mission to train the next generation of large animal veterinarians, allowing them to follow their dreams of serving farmers without concerns about educational debt.”

Ms. Fairman received an undergraduate degree in animal science from Penn State University this year and is interested in food animal medicine and research in reproductive biology, particularly dairy reproduction.

Mr. Kraycik received a BS in biology from Delaware Valley College in 2013 and plans to pursue a career in livestock medicine, specifically dairy and swine.

Mr. Luksic received a BS in animal science from Penn State University in 2016 and is interested primarily in dairy, poultry and small ruminants.
