Columbus Air Force Base Tour

Twenty MSU-CVM students had the opportunity today to participate in what has become an annual visit to the Columbus Air Force Base in Columbus, Mississippi. Our students are provided each year with the opportunity to tour the base and learn more about military working dogs and their handlers. We are appreciative to the CAFB for their hospitality and are grateful for the opportunity to provide this learning experience to our students!

STARKVILLE, MS

Several Mississippi State University veterinary students recently participated in a project geared toward relieving the stress of school while helping out the Oktibbeha County Humane Society.

Nestlé Purina Petcare Company donated 15 dog houses to students of MSU’s College of Veterinary Medicine to be assembled and distributed.

Third year veterinary student Veronica Kiely, a Purina student representative, was involved in deciding what to do with the dog houses.

“We had a painting event to make it fun and just kind of a stress reliever for the vet students,” Kiely said. “There were prizes for the most creative dog houses, which were judged by faculty members.”
The dog houses were painted by hand by students who worked in teams. Of the 15 dog houses donated, there were 10 judged by faculty members, and the most creative are on display in the front lobby of the Wise Center.

The top three winners were cottage-themed, beach-themed and cabin-themed.  Read More...
