An important Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine tradition kicked-off the new school year for first-year veterinary medicine students in the Class of 2027 as well as veterinary nursing students in the Class of 2026 who are attending classes in Lynn Hall this fall for the first time. The annual Stethoscope Celebration was held September 5 in the Purdue Memorial Union Faculty Lounges. In addition to a full-course meal, the event featured remarks by Dean Willie Reed and the event sponsors, and culminated with the giving of complimentary stethoscopes to the students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis stethoscope-themed celebration has become an important, time-honored tradition for our college,\u201d Dean Willie Reed said as he began the evening event and thanked the event sponsors \u2013 Patterson Veterinary, the Purdue Veterinary Alumni Association, and the Indiana Veterinary Medical Association.<\/p>\n\n\n

After the meal was served, a representative of each sponsor was invited to share words of advice with the students. Then Dean Reed returned to the podium. \u201cIn many ways, tonight\u2019s event is a picture of the teamwork that is so vital to the success of the veterinary medical profession,\u201d Dean Reed said to the students. \u201cAs you progress through your education here, I hope you feel like you really are part of a team, working and learning together with your fellow students, and witnessing the teamwork modeled by our faculty and staff as well as our partner organizations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dean Reed emphasized Purdue Veterinary Medicine is one of only four veterinary colleges in the United States that offers both DVM and Veterinary Nursing degree programs. \u201cYou will gain a lot of hands-on experience as part of your coursework and your rotations in the Purdue University Veterinary Hospital. And you will have the opportunity to start using your stethoscopes right away!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the program, the students stepped outside to proudly display their shiny new stethoscopes for group photos and candid photo ops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
