Outreach and Events

Our mission to train tomorrow’s veterinarians and research scientists extends outside the college’s classrooms and laboratories into the Auburn community… and beyond. We are committed to sharing what we know and working with our community in animal care and health. Learn more about some of the college’s activities and events.

Open House

Due to changing operational protocols, we are unable to host Open House this year. Watch social media and our website this Fall for updates regarding the 2024 event.

Vet Camps

Auburn Vet Med partners with the Auburn University Office of Professional and Continuing Education to offer annual summer Vet Camps to youth interested in the veterinary profession. Campers learn about veterinary medicine first-hand in classrooms, laboratories, and outdoor facilities that include Auburn’s raptor, equine, dairy, beef, and swine units. Campers will learn about public health, food animals, wildlife, anatomy, imaging, and first aid, as well as gain valuable mentoring about veterinary science careers. Second-year veterinary students, alongside faculty, technicians and staff lead campers in activities and coursework to simulate actual veterinary education. Campers learn and study on the College of Veterinary Medicine campus in laboratories and classrooms designed for veterinary students. With 24/7 counselor supervision, camp participants experience campus life while residing in Auburn’s resident dormitories, eating at campus dining facilities and enjoying evening social and recreational activities. The Auburn University Office of Professional and Continuing Education coordinates the camper’s registration, fees, meals, housing and chaperones. Applications typically open in December and close in February for the following summer’s camp dates.
