About Open House

The Open House demonstrates the exciting and rewarding aspects of a career in veterinary medicine. There will be many demonstrations and tours showing the diverse career choices from which graduates in veterinary medicine may choose.

Guided tours of the College and Teaching Hospital facilities will be available throughout the day. These tours will feature both the large and small animal teaching hospitals.

Interesting exhibits will focus on topics such as the life of a veterinary student, computers in veterinary medicine, animal behavior, equine reproduction, herd health and others.

Admission to the Open House is FREE and the public is invited. Please pass along this information to individuals or groups in your community or school who might be interested in learning more about the rapidly changing and scientifically challenging world of veterinary medicine.
