Congratulations!

[Agriculture, Life and Veterinary Sciences, and Cooperative Extension Weekly Bulletin]

Dear Colleagues,

I'd like to share with you some very good news from Provost Folks this morning.  The Division of Agriculture, Life and Veterinary Sciences, and Cooperative Extension is now home to Arizona's first public veterinary medical education program.  With the AVMA Council on Education's Letter of Reasonable Assurance, the College of Veterinary Medicine is now able to begin marketing its program and accepting applications for Fall 2020.

As you know, a UA vet school has been wished for, worked toward, dreamed about for some half a century.  Many of you have been part of this effort -- and now this college is part of your legacy at the University of Arizona.

Let's celebrate this tremendous achievement and congratulate our colleagues in the CVM for taking this one into the end zone.

Best regards,
Shane

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

I am elated to announce that the University of Arizona has received official approval to establish the state's first public College of Veterinary Medicine. The University received notice from the American Veterinary Medical Association Council on Education granting the College of Veterinary Medicine a Letter of Reasonable Assurance. This launches the College on its path toward full accreditation.

I want to thank all of the University of Arizona faculty and staff who helped us achieve this remarkable accomplishment. I especially want to congratulate Dean Julie Funk and her team for making this dream a reality. We are preparing to accept our first class in the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Program in the fall of 2020.

The positive evaluation from the Council recognized the College's mission statement, based on the vision for the University of Arizona: "They (veterinary students) will be innovative, adaptive learners and disruptive problem solvers."

Please join me in congratulating the College of Veterinary Medicine.

Best Regards,

Liesl
