Veterinary Medicine (VET) Advisory Council Purpose and Values

The Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine Advisory Council serves as an advisory group to the Dean of the College to help fulfill and implement the College’s mission and strategic objectives while striving to provide members with a gratifying opportunity to engage with and make an impact on the College. The Council shares the College’s values of commitment to veterinary medicine and education, equity and diversity, collaboration and two-way communication, innovation, intellectual curiosity, and an expectation of excellence in all areas of the Council’s work.
