We are committed to developing a supportive climate in the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences where all students, staff, and faculty thrive. We strive to break down barriers to healthcare and the biomedical sciences for people, animals, and the planet.
Priorities
Led by our associate dean, our community includes undergraduate, graduate, and professional students, as well as faculty and staff from across the college. In the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, we take a retention-first approach, which means we prioritize creating and sustaining a culture and climate where everyone can thrive as their whole selves.
To do this, we focus on:
- educating our community on issues related to sustainability, (community) engagement, and accessible care (SEA).
- breaking down barriers to education, research, and care in veterinary medicine and the biomedical sciences.
- creating a welcoming environment and sense of belonging for our entire community that promotes well-being.
