Providing Excellence at Vet Med

This month our College launched its third annual Faculty-Staff campaign as a part of the university-wide "Brilliant Futures" fund-raising initiative. For our College, it means a chance to reflect on the many ways that our students, faculty, staff, and alumni provide excellence to clients, veterinary students, the field of veterinary medicine, and our community. Throughout the month of April, we will be posting our "points of pride" on our new blog.

The White Coat Ceremony is planned for Sunday, April 25, at 1:00 pm in the Illini Union Ballrooms.

This ceremony marks the important transition to the fourth-year clinical experiences. Recognition of this milestone will be marked by presentation of the traditional white lab coats.
