High school students attend the College of Veterinary Medicine’s precollege studies course prior to the pandemic. New HS scholarship aims to diversify veterinary medicine
March 3, 2021

Cultivating inclusion and support for students from historically underrepresented communities early in their education – focusing on the pipeline of potential students that apply to veterinary college – is considered key to diversifying the field.
