The college’s incoming veterinary students from the Class of 2016 as well as transferring students from other institutions received a warm welcome during a week of orientation activities that took place Aug. 13-17. Below are a few shots of the new students mingling with other UF veterinary students while they meandered through the lobby of the Veterinary Academic Building on the morning of Aug. 13, learning more about student clubs and activities.
