Welcome back to returning pre-vets and welcome to our newcomers! We have some exciting events planned for this semester, but please feel free to email the E-board about any ideas you have! We will add events as we plan/discover them so please check for updates. Also, please email Jose (jro57) if you are not yet receiving emails and would like to be added to the listserv.

The Pre-Veterinary Society is a student-run organization dedicated to offering its members new perspectives on the veterinary profession and advice to optimize chances of gaining admission to veterinary school. The society is an excellent resource for freshmen and sophomores who want a broader perspective on veterinary medicine, and we provide supportive services to junior and seniors that are in the application process.
