Celebrating Our DVM Alumni

LSU Vet Med recently installed a Wall of Honor celebrating our DVM alumni. We now have five interactive monitors for alumni to see class composites, information on all of the LSU Vet Med deans, distinguished alumni and other alumni awards, videos, facts, and information on those alumni who unfortunately are no longer with us. Plans are underway to add our MS and PhD alumni to this platform. Learn More
