You have been invited to the following event.

Title: 2019 College of Veterinary Medicine Open House
The VA-MD Regional College of Veterinary Medicine presents their 2019 Open  
House on Saturday, March 23, 2019.

Please join us at our Annual Open House for a behind-the-scenes look at our  
college! The event, held with support from the Student Chapter of the  
American Veterinary Medical Association (SCAVMA) and other student  
organizations, features a variety of exhibits, demonstrations, seminars and  
45 minute long public tours of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital. Tours will  
depart every 10 minutes beginning at 10:00 am. The last tour will depart at  
2:00 pm.

All attendees are encouraged to stop by the check-in area in front of the  
veterinary college complex to pick up event information, a map, a passport  
and tour tickets.

The family-friendly event will also feature activities designed expressly  
for children such as horseshoe painting, an anatomy lesson with a painted  
horse, a “future surgeon” photo booth, high-fidelity cow model that can be  
“milked" and a Teddy Bear Repair Clinic from 10:00 am until 2:30 pm. The  
HokieBird will also be in attendance. Ice cream will be available from  
Homestead Creamery for those who "milk" the cow.

Lectures and information sessions will address such topics as equine gut  
anatomy, pet first aid, and what prospective students need to know about  
applying to veterinary school. Demonstrations will cover a wide range of  
topics and include ultrasound exams on dogs, live horses painted to  
represent their internal anatomy, police canine demonstrations, tiny  
cameras called endoscopes and more.

The purpose of the Open House is to showcase our college, provide  
information about the veterinary profession and careers in veterinary  
medicine, celebrate the role of animals in people's lives and provide fun  
and entertainment for the community.

The Open House is free and open to the public. No registration is required.

Food trucks offering local and regional dinging options will be available  
for visitors in the parking lot in front of the college.

In addition, a silent auction with gift certificates and merchandise from  
local merchants will be held from 10 am to 2 pm with winners announced at  
2:15 pm.

Attendees are also encouraged to bring a donation of dog food, treats, toys  
and/or a monetary donation to benefit local shelter dogs.

Parking will be available in the large fenced commuter / graduate parking  
lot off Duck Pond Drive known as “the Cage”. A sign will direct visitors to  
the parking lot entrance.
