Welcome to the veterinary profession and to the ranks of a very special group, PUSVM Alumni.

 

You have worked hard for four years, during a time of great educational change, but you have made it!  You can all feel legitimately proud of this achievement.

 

You are attaining membership in a proud and honorable profession, and we wish you long, productive, and successful careers.  We hope you will remain an active member of our extended SVM family.

 

Dean Willie M. Reed
