The college is grateful for this support and the opportunity to utilize this investment to move the world forward.

Highlights from the past year include:

  • Establishment of the new Evan and Sue Ann Werling Comparative Oncology Research Center
  • Creation of the new Raj and Melissa Singh Veterinary Dentistry Professorship
  • Multiple investments in the future of the Purdue University Veterinary Hospital’s Cardiology Service
