Purdue Veterinary Medicine alumni, friends, faculty, and staff had the opportunity to gather together in Orlando, Fla. at the annual Purdue Alumni Reception hosted by the College during the North American Veterinary Community’s (NAVC) annual VMX Conference.  More than 50 people attended the event on Sunday night, January 19, at the Hyatt Regency adjacent to the Orange County Convention Center. 

Alumni enjoyed the opportunity to catch-up with classmates and colleagues and hear an update about the new Purdue Veterinary Hospital project from Dean Willie Reed.  Attendees included some of the 60 Pacesetter donors who made significant gift commitments in support of the new Veterinary Teaching Hospital in conjunction with the College’s 60th Anniversary in 2019.
