Student Research Symposium Oct 2007
Students who were engaged in research in the College of Veterinary
Medicine in 2007 presented a poster session on October 17 detailing their
work. The Student Research Symposium is sponsored by Pfizer Animal Health.
A major purpose of this event is to recognize (and learn from) the efforts
of students and trainees–veterinary students, undergraduate students,
graduate students, and residents/interns – who contribute to the research
mission of the college and profession.
