Academic Affairs

The Office of Academic Affairs serves the College of Veterinary Medicine's core academic mission to promote community, collaboration, innovation and passion as we shape the future of veterinary medicine. Academic Affairs focuses on ensuring that both our educators and our student community are supported as they teach and learn, research and explore, discover new interests and expand the field of veterinary medicine.

The Office of Academic Affairs

Academic Affairs is supported by three teams: Academic Technology (AT), Curricular and Instructional Design (CID), and the Student Development Group (SDG).
