They work to control the spread of diseases. They conduct research that helps both animals and humans. Veterinarians are at the forefront of protecting the public’s health and welfare.

"The first exposure I had was with Smith Wallbridge drum major camps and EIU honor band events during my junior and senior years of high school. ... I don't know if I would have gone away from home for school without these types of high school events. Both of my band directors attended EIU for their education, and since I viewed them as role models, they provided a guideline for me to attend."Elizabeth StockPre-Veterinary Medicine Pathway - Biological Sciences | Class of 2026
