A message from our deanGreetings, fellow Gators!
What an eventful and inspiring couple of months it has been for our college community. The highlight, of course, was witnessing our exceptional Class of 2024 proudly receive their D.V.M. diplomas at commencement. As they celebrated this milestone achievement with loved ones, faculty, staff, and mentors cheering them on, I couldn't help but feel a surge of pride. This resilient group began their veterinary journey in 2020, navigating the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic with remarkable fortitude. From pivoting to remote learning to grappling with new health concerns, they persevered through it all, emerging as passionate, strong-willed professionals poised to change the world. Our exciting college news doesn't stop there! I'm delighted to officially welcome Dr. Jada Lewis, a distinguished neuroscience researcher, as the new chair of our Department of Physiological Sciences. With her wealth of expertise and leadership experience from the McKnight Brain Institute, Dr. Lewis is a fantastic addition to our team.
