The School of Veterinary Medicine’s Walk of Honor at the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital entryway represents a permanent memorial to an important animal or person in your life. The brick you purchase for placement in our Walk of Honor will serve not only as a lasting legacy for a loved one, but also as a means to benefit animal health. Your donation supports such important activities as hospital improvements, equipment updates, student scholarships, and various animal health studies.

You may purchase a brick at any time, but installation will take place in batches, as sufficient quantities are reached.

When completed, our Walk of Honor will feature commemorative bricks, a raised planter, and a garden seating area, all creating a welcoming hospital entryway.

A commemorative brick in our Walk of Honor makes a wonderful memorial, tribute or gift for:

• A beloved animal or friend
• A special someone in your life or an animal's life (spouse, parent, child, veterinarian, friend)
• Yourself in honor of a special event
• Special occasions such as birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, etc.

A contribution of $150 or more entitles you to designate a 4" x 8" brick in our Walk of Honor. This brick can bear your name and/or recognize an animal lover, a special pet, or someone who has been important in your life or the life of your pet. Initial bricks were installed in August 2007. Subsequent installations will be scheduled when sufficient quantities are reached.
