Over the next two Fridays, more than 300 prospective students will be visiting Lynn Hall to interview for a spot in the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine’s DVM Class of 2024! The students also will be given the opportunity to participate in discussions with current DVM students. Please join us in welcoming the prospective students and their families to the College! Note that the interviews will take place in rooms along the administrative hallway in Lynn Hall, so please help keep that corridor quiet during the interview days on January 24 and 31.
