College of Veterinary Medicine
Protecting Animal and Human Health
The College of Veterinary Medicine is dedicated to improving the health and welfare of animals and people, by providing clinical care, diagnostic services, a high quality veterinary education, and breakthrough research. The college is responding to some of society's most serious health needs -- testing and researching such diseases as avian influenza, mad cow disease, and West Nile virus; working with public health officials to ensure a safe food supply; and partnering with ranchers to improve livestock health.
Building on the momentum of a recent expansion, the campaign provides the college with tremendous opportunities to reach new levels of excellence to benefit animals and people in Oregon and worldwide.
