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.
