Vet Aspirations - It's Vet Camp and more!
For the past four years, Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine has been hosting a summer Vet Camp. Every year, we've changed it up some, and every year we've added more fun to our camp experience. We're continuing to build on the ways we engage young people in the world of veterinary medicine, and this is the site where you'll see updates about all the cool new things we'll be offering!
In addition to Vet Camp, we have two additional programs we offer during the rest of the academic year to connect with aspiring veterinarians - Vet Chat and VetAspire. You can read more details about all three programs - Vet Camp, Vet Chat, and VetAspire - below.
