"My major is animal and
veterinary sciences with a concentration in pre-veterinary
medicine. It's a great program here because we have the
benefit of using Witter Farm so there's lots of hands-on
animal experience. It's great to be able to have vets that
work out at the farm with us. I love all of the professors
in the program."
