UCD World Veterinary Week
2011 has been designated as "World Veterinary Year" to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the first veterinary school. UCD carried out its own celebration in the first week of October, exposing students to the breadth of veterinary medicine. UCD's World Veterinary Week brought in speakers from Dublin, Brussels, and the United States who discussed topics ranging from pet obesity to EU veterinary legislation. A photo competition exploring "Vets in our daily lives" and veterinary post mortem exams available for medical students to observe made the week very successful!
