Homecoming Saturday on the Purdue campus brought a throng of community members and Purdue alumni to the Boilermaker Boulevard where they enjoyed the opportunity to visit a host of tents featuring displays and exhibits organized by Purdue colleges and units. The booths stretched from the Purdue Gateway arch at the entrance to Stadium Mall down to the Engineering Fountain. A particularly popular location was the Purdue Veterinary Medicine tent that featured a team from the Purdue University Veterinary Hospital<\/a>\u2019s Small Animal Primary Care Service.

The team members, led by Dr. Lori Corriveau, primary care clinician, were accompanied by two furry companions \u2013 a former Canine Educator named Enzo, who belongs to senior veterinary student Haley Davis, and a friendly feline named Buzz, who is the companion of Milad Mounir, a clinical year student from Ross University.<\/p>\n\n\n

Another popular feature at the tent was the \u201cTick Toss\u201d \u2013 a game in which participants could toss a tick figurine against a dog illustration on a board covered with Velcro patches. Those who got the tick to stick on the dog won a prize. In addition, giveaways and information available at the booth provided passersby with an introduction to veterinary medical services available at the Purdue University Veterinary Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The booth also gave visitors the opportunity to register for the new Pete\u2019s Pet Club \u2013 dubbed \u201cThe Coolest Crew on Campus.\u201d Attendees could register their pets as honorary Boilermakers by becoming members of the club, which entitles them to receive a Purdue-themed welcome box. A portion of the $35 membership cost supports the College of Veterinary Medicine\u2019s Priority 4 Paws shelter medicine program and Purdue Athletics.

Arrangements for the booth were coordinated by Kelly Dold, Marketing and Communications Manager for the Veterinary Hospitals and the ADDL. A big thank you to Dr. Corriveau and her students for volunteering at the booth along with Kelly, who handled booth set-up and tear down and assisted at the booth during the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
