STARKVILLE, Miss.—Two Mississippi State professors in the
university’s College of Veterinary Medicine are reaching out to students
around the world who want to learn about their specialized field of
epidemiology.
Drs. David R. Smith and Robert W. Wills recently traveled to China to
teach a two-week, two-credit-hour course funded by the Chinese Academy
of Agricultural Sciences.
“There is a need for training Chinese veterinarians in epidemiology,”
Smith said. Epidemiology is the branch of medicine dealing with the
incidence and prevalence of disease in large populations and with
detection of the sources and cause of epidemics of infectious disease.
It’s also commonly referred to as studying “herd health.” read more...

Visit to Palmer Home
MSU-CVM's Animals in Focus group and athletes from Mississippi State Athletics had the opportunity to spread some holiday cheer at the Palmer Home for Children.
The children enjoyed face painting, inflatables, refreshments, and
interactions with MSU athletes and MSU-CVM students, faculty, and staff.
They were also treated to a special guest appearance by our very own #BullyXXI
(a.k.a. Jak). We are so grateful to the many individuals and businesses
who worked together to make this special event possible! #weringtrue #hailstate #communityoutreach #holidaycheer #tistheseason
End-of-Year-Giving
During this giving season, many people reflect on the year
behind and make final decisions on which charitable organizations to support
with a year-end gift. Philanthropy fuels our forward progress – in scholarship,
in research, in outreach, and more. Each day, programs and initiatives made
possible by donors are touching the lives of untold thousands at MSU-CVM,
across our region, throughout the country, and around the world.
Why do so many give? Because every gift – large or small –
helps make possible another success, another breakthrough, another discovery.
And in that way, every donor becomes a part of the CVM family and plays a key
role in making the future even better for people and pets.
There are many different ways to contribute a gift. The easiest
and most direct method is to make a donation at www.foundation.msstate.com.
Click on “Give Now” to make an impact.
If you’re not comfortable making a gift online or if you have
questions about making a gift, simply call the development staff at (662) 325-5170.
Happy Holidays!

Pegasus Partner's Gifts Support Student International Experiences
Andrea Seitz, second year DVM student, traveled to the Miguel Angel Asturias Spanish School in Guatemala where she participated in the Veterinary Medical Spanish Program. The program combines intensive general Spanish instruction with specialized instruction focused on veterinary medical terminology and relevant situations. Andrea’s trip was possible thanks to Pegasus Partners donors whose gifts allow CVM students to expand their international perspective and veterinary knowledge through international experiences. This video provides an inside look at some of the incredible opportunities Andrea was afforded while in Guatemala. Such trips would not be possible without the financial support of donors passionate about educating globally minded veterinarians!
