The Magruder Hall atrium is filled with light: some of it natural, some of it LED, and some of it from the spirit of giving that surrounds this year’s holiday tree.
Last week, the CVM Shelter Medicine Club decorated the tree with nearly 90 colorful, hand-made ornaments. Each ornament featured the face of an animal and a request from one of the local animal charities. Within a couple of days, nearly all the ornaments were gone and items started appearing under the tree: dog food, cat litter, horse halters, and lots of bleach. Club members had to get out their scissors and glue once again.
This spirit of giving is nothing new at the College of Veterinary Medicine where students, staff, and faculty work every day for the welfare of animals. On December 16th, the college will celebrate these generous, dedicated people by hosting a holiday party from 4 – 7 pm in the atrium. Food and beverage will abound and the giving tree will be surrounded by those who made it a huge success!
