University of Illinois’ Vet Med Open House makes plans for 2023
Enjoy a variety of family-friendly events on the University of Illinois’ College of Veterinary Medicine
An annual Champaign-Urbana family tradition, Vet Med Open House is an event unlike any other. Want to stick your arm inside the stomach of a fistulated cow? How about witness dog obedience training in action? Snakes, spiders, and other creepy crawlies? What about a walk through a real laboratory? There’s something for everyone, with animals big and small.
With event updates to be posted on Facebook as the event gets closer, and the Vet Med website, we are looking forward to the 2023 event.
