Open house visitors should start at the lobby of the Murie Building\, 982 N. Koyukuk Drive. Faculty\, staff and students from the joint veterinary medicine program with Colorado State University will lead the activities. The open house is for all ages\, including children. It's a great opportunity for high school students to get a glimpse of what veterinary school is like. Participants can: Tour the veterinary medicine program's new home and meet its first and second class of students. Test their own surgery skills and watch stuffed animals be sutured. Watch veterinarians use a dog mannequin to show how they give CPR\, and view other life-size animal models and real skeletons. Find out what radiographs can reveal. Go home with a free animal balloon from a professional balloon artist. The program's first class of 10 students\, seven of whom are Alaska residents\, began in the fall of 2015. The joint program is housed within UAF's College of Natural Science and Mathematics and is Alaska's first professional veterinary medicine program. It gives preference to qualified Alaska students who then pay a reduced tuition their first two years. All students receive their Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree through CSU.
