Graduation News Release Request Form

Congratulations, Graduates!

April 22, 2019

Dear Soon-to-Be Doctors:

Congratulations on earning your Illinois veterinary degree! If you’d like a press release announcing your good news sent to your hometown paper or undergraduate alumni publication, please use the form below to help me generate a personalized press release.

Please note that you must include the name of at least one publication to which you’d like the release sent. (Please realize that the larger papers, such as the Chicago Tribune, are unlikely to print this type of news, even if we send it to one of the community editions.)

If you have any questions, please email me, call me at 244-1562, or stop by my office (3229 VMBSB).
