At UTCVM we are all about animal, human and public health. We invite you to partner with us to help provide scholarships to educate the next generations of veterinary professionals; to purchase specialized, contemporary equipment for our four hospitals (companion animal, exotics, equine and farm animal); to expand and renovate our hospitals; to help perform clinical trials to develop new treatments and improve the quality of life for animals; to help us recruit and retain the best faculty; and to help us provide for everything needed for excellence in teaching, research, and service.
Thank You
Thank you for taking the time to consider supporting the UT College of Veterinary Medicine. Like you, we love our animals whether they are large or small. Each animal that comes into our lives makes a difference. You can, too. Leave a legacy for the future by making a gift to the UT College of Veterinary Medicine. Thank you!

I have settled in beautiful West Knoxville with my husband, Brett, and our matching cat and dog, Grace Knucklehead and Molly.
