Make a difference for the health and well-being of animals and humans here in Kansas — and beyond.
From headline-making diseases to household pets
Whether tracking zoonotic disease variants, advancing safe and sustainable livestock farming practices for a growing global population, or supporting the powerful connection between people and their beloved animal companions, we are perfectly positioned to deliver results.
On their way to becoming leaders in veterinary medicine, our students are exposed to varied field experiences, rigorous research practices, and opportunities to hone communication and collaboration skills. Donor support helps the college adapt nimbly to headline-making challenges like COVID or bird flu.
We’re working hard to reduce the amount of debt students take on while they earn their K-State degrees. With support from donors like you, our students can focus on serving communities of all kinds and building careers that bring them satisfaction.
Donors have made a difference by investing in:
- Facilities and equipment necessary to conduct humane, safe and forward-thinking clinical and lab research
- Faculty scholars who train the next generation of veterinary science professionals and model effective practices
- Scholarship support to keep this vital field accessible to people from all backgrounds
- Student learning, field experiences, support programs and career advising that make our grads the best they can be.
