Thank you to our donors who make a difference by improving animal and human health. Without gifts, the school would not have the resources to strategically invest in the people, research, and facilities that set the school and UW Veterinary Care apart from our peers.
With the support of compassionate people who want to advance animal health, we can:
- Recruit and train the most outstanding faculty and students
- Make advances in research that benefits animals and humans too
- Provide diagnostic equipment that improves our treatment of disease and injury
- Support scholarships that offset the debt load of our graduates
- Honor animals and people who have made a difference
