Mission Statement
We, the Pre-Veterinary Society at FIU, are interested in following a career in Veterinary Medicine. This student society aims to help members in all aspects related to attaining and achieving the necessary skills to gain entrance into a Veterinary School. This society provides many opportunities to gain not only experience but also growth. Several different aspects of veterinary medicine are explored through community service, guest speakers, and shadowing. As a diverse society, our community service activities are not limited to animal related endeavors. Members of the Pre-Veterinarian Society have an advantage of making an array of friends that share their passion for the Veterinary Field. At the core of this organization, there is an abundance of animal lovers helping their community and helping each other fulfill dreams. Scroll down to meet the students who make this mission possible!
