A host of people visiting Lynn Hall today (Friday, January 31) signaled the second of two DVM interview days, with prospective students coming to the College of Veterinary Medicine from around Indiana and across the country in hopes of being admitted to the Purdue DVM Class of 2024.  In addition to the interviews, other activities planned for the prospective students and their families include informational sessions and opportunities to hear from Dean Willie Reed and to meet with Assistant Dean for Inclusive Excellence Latonia Craig.  The interview day concludes tonight with a banquet at the Purdue Memorial Union South Ballroom, where the prospective students and their families can meet faculty, staff, and current DVM students.  Out of a total of more than 1,600 applicants for the DVM Class of 2024, about 300 prospective students were invited to interview for admission either today or during the first interview day, which was last Friday, January 24.
