Maryland's future veterinarians may soon call UMES home! 🐾🩺

UMES President Dr. Heidi M. Anderson recently joined WJZ's Campus Connection to discuss the university's vision for Maryland's first veterinary school, along with UMES' upcoming 140th anniversary and continued growth.

The proposed School of Veterinary Medicine would be the first veterinary school in Maryland and the first at a public HBCU in the nation. Through this groundbreaking initiative, UMES aims to help address veterinary workforce shortages, expand opportunities for future veterinarians, and strengthen animal health across Maryland and beyond.
