VET SCHOOL CONTINUED the professionals who work at the school and hands-on exhibits that let at tendees get up close and personal with the animals. Shelby Gasson, a third-year veteri nary student and director of this year’s open house, said her favorite activity was the teddy bear surgery. “Kids get to make up whatever story they want,” Gasson said. ‘“My bear has a broken leg,’ or ‘My giraffe got hit by a car and needs a heart transplant.’ So they come up with all kinds of crazy fun stories. Then our second- and third- year vet students work with the kids and help them get fixed and stitched up.” Dr. Posey said one of his favorite as pects of the open house was the exotic wing. “They have a self-guided tour of ex otic pets, so there are lots of snakes and reptiles. It’s interesting because most people don’t get to see those animals as pets,” Dr. Posey said. The veterinary school isn’t just about animal medicine, said Brian Giebel, biomedical science junior and repre sentative of the Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences Undergradu ate Program. It also allows the univer sity to offer its Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences Undergraduate Program. “Our science program is basically anything health oriented — PA school, PT School, obviously veterinary medi cine, and human medicine like med school, ophthalmology,” Giebel said.
