Pre-Vet Club
As a member of the Pre-Vet Club at The University of Findlay, you will have the opportunity to meet many new friends, get involved with on-campus activities and serve as a volunteer throughout the Findlay area.

Some on-campus activities the Pre-Vet Club sponsors are the Fall Rodeo in October (in 2006, voted "Best Campus Event" by Campus Planning Board) and  Powder-Puff Football in the Spring. In 2008, the club's annual Spring Fling, a campus event held for all students featuring jazz and swing dancing, was voted as "Model Education Student Organization Program of the Year" by Student Activities & Commuter Student Services. The club also participates in The University's Homecoming activities. The club decorated a golf cart as part of the "Golf Cart Parade" and won the Banner contest several years in a row! The club also participated in the "Cans Across America" Campaign as schools across the United States collected cans of food for charity. You are encouraged as a PVET UF student to get involved!

As a member of The University of Findlay's Pre-Vet Club, you will be able to volunteer for the Hancock County Humane Society at their weekly bingo games or as a companion for the animals up for adoption. Also, you can learn more about birds of prey as a volunteer in the Raptor Rehab Program or help with the yearly "Ribbit on the River", the Humane Society's annual fund-raising event.

The Pre-Vet Club takes several field trips each year such as attending the yearly Midwest Veterinary Conference in Columbus, Ohio. They attend the Pre-Veterinary Conference held during the convention. As a member of the PVET Club, you will have the opportunity to listen to many speakers from outside the University Community including practicing veterinarians, specialists and veterinary school representatives. Speakers from The Ohio State University, Purdue University, Michigan State University and Ross University have spoken to the club members. St. George's Veterinary School and Ross University Veterinary School, both in the Carribean Sea, have also given presentations. In the past, representatives from The Ohio State University Veterinary Public Health Program and the United States Army Veterinary Corps have also visited. This year, representatives from Mississippi State University, Cornell University, and University of Missouri Colleges of Veterinary Medicine have visited the University and spoke to the Pre-Vet Club.

    The club was invited back again to Cedar Point Amusement Park to serve as guest "spooks". Everyone had a great time! The money raised goes to support club activities such as speakers, trips and pizza parties. This is a great way to help you relax after a hard day of classes and studying.

In the Fall, PVET majors are invited to a bonfire and cookout at Dr. Peck's home. It is a great way for you as a freshman to meet the upperclassmen. All Pre-Vet students are welcome and get the chance to play volleyball, basketball, or just sit around the bonfire talking and making 'smores. Many of the PVET advisors and various administrators such as Dr. Terry Schwaner, Dean of the College of the Sciences are in attendance. A good time is had by all!
