The NC State University's College of Veterinary Medicine 2014 OPEN HOUSE will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, March 29.
Students and
teachers interested in animals and sciences--biology, animal science,
veterinary medicine, ecology/ environment, One Health, human/animal
bond, infectious diseases, regenerative medicine--should not miss this
once-a-year opportunity.
The popular annual event will offer the traditional opportunities to get
up close with various animals large and small, demonstrations, special
displays and exhibits, and chances to talk with faculty and students.
NEW THIS YEAR: The Smithsonian Institution's special traveling exhibit, “Animal Connections: Our Journey Together” will
be one of the new attractions this year. Housed in a mini-museum
inside an expandable 18-wheeler, the 1,000-square foot exhibit
introduces visitors of all ages to the human-animal bond. Whether you’re
an aspiring veterinarian, an animal lover, or a health care
professional, you and your family will find something to capture your
interest in this exhibit. Take a video tour now.
Numerous fun and
informative tour stops explain advances in veterinary medicine,
veterinary medical technology, best care practices for the family pet,
and what it takes to become a veterinarian.
Animals touch our
daily lives from the food we eat, the products we consume, the health
care advances we benefit from, and the services, entertainment, and
companionship we enjoy. Wildlife species add to the beauty and wonder of
our world. The connection between wildlife, domestic animals, the
environment, and humans is called "One Health" and this concept is the
foundation for veterinary medicine.
The Open
House will explore the One Health concept with special exhibits and
discussions on the connection between wildlife, domestic animals, the
environment, and people.
