Gabriel is a freshman majoring in biology.  He really likes the idea of going into mixed practice.  This evidenced by his numerous animals in Pennsylvania including an Iceland Sheepdog-Border Collie mix named Emma along with another dog, two cats, cows, a horse, sheep, goats, rabbits, chickens, ducks, and last but not least, an alpaca named Michael.  Despite the variety of pets he has, his spirit animal is the incomparable howler monkey,

Welcome to the 2014-2015 Year!

Welcome back to all of our members, and welcome to the Class of 2018 (or older students who’ve made the switch to pre-vet)! As the puppy suggests, we had a relaxing summer break, but the Pre-Vet Society is back and busier than ever! We have a lot of great events coming up this month that we welcome your participation in. On September 14th, the Pre-Vet Society will be volunteering at Somerville Dog Fest 2014, an all-day event celebrating dogs and their owners that will raise money for local shelters. We are also having our annual trip to the Open House at the Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine on September 21st, along with other fun guest speakers and fundraisers throughout the semester!
Stop by our table at the Student Organizations Fair or our GIM (stay tuned for a confirmed time and location) to learn more about all of these opportunities! An email will also be sent out with more information on all of the events mentioned above. Good luck to everyone on a new school year!
