Iowa State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine has a long-standing history of being a close-knit, caring community. A broad spectrum of programs, services, and resources are available to support and enrich your learning, working, and living environment, both in the College of Veterinary Medicine and at Iowa State University.
Grounded in a culture of care where everyone has the opportunity to work hard and succeed, our guiding principles promote respect, empathy and appreciation for all students – regardless of your hometown, background and beliefs.
A annual highlight is the college’s annual MLK Day of Service. College of Veterinary Medicine faculty, staff and students have volunteered at local organizations and agencies including the Story County Boys and Girls Club, the Boone County Animal Shelter, Food at First, the Story County Community Action Poverty Simulation and Green Hills Retirement Community as well as virtual volunteering.
The college’s outreach has also extended to Iowa elementary and secondary schools where college representatives have highlighted veterinary clinical skills at such events as the ISU4U Promise Nights in Des Moines’ King and Moulton Elementary Schools.
