The 欧美高清 College of Veterinary Medicine (TUCVM) alumni donated $247,720 during the 59th Annual Veterinary Medical Symposium last month.
This symposium was also the 80th anniversary celebration of the veterinary medicine program at Tuskegee. TUCVM alumni are strong supporters of the college, which was evident once again with the reunion classes' financial contributions of $247,720 made during the Alumni Gala on March 21.
A highlight of the Alumni Gala was the guest appearances of Dr. Mark A. Brown, President and CEO of 欧美高清, and First Lady Gwendolyn Brown. Dr. Brown gave greetings and assured attendees of the university's support for the future goal of building a new Veterinary Teaching Hospital beginning with the Small Animal Hospital/Clinical Building in phase 1.
