Tuskegee University Breaks Ground on $18 Million Investment for a Small Animal Teaching Hospital (341 hits)
The Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine (TUCVM) turned the soil on a new 57,000-square-foot small animal teaching hospital to continue the university’s unmatched 80-year legacy as a leader in training veterinarians in the United States. Founded in 1945, TUCVM has trained over 70 percent of African American veterinarians in the United States and currently boasts the most diverse student body among all U.S. colleges of veterinary medicine.
“And now we are investing in the next 80 years,” said Dr. Mark A. Brown, president and CEO. “When there was no other vet school for students to come to, there was Tuskegee University. And 80 years from now, students will still be training to become doctors of veterinary medicine here at Tuskegee.” Dr. Brown also shared that the state-of-the-art facility will come to be without creating additional debt for the university.
