Partners Program

About the Program

The Partners Program is a way to recognize and stimulate the exchange of information, resources and goodwill between the School of Veterinary Medicine and its friends. The goal of the program is to strengthen the mutually supportive relationship between the School, the veterinary medical profession, and the animal lovers of California. Individuals and organizations who have a demonstrated interest in the advancement of the School's education, research, and animal health missions can become partners.
