The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and the American Veterinary Medical Foundation (AVMF) have partnered with the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) and Zoetis to create “Animal Connections: Our Journey Together,” a custom-built exhibition housed on an 18-wheel truck that introduces visitors of all ages to the complex bond between humans and animals. The exhibit’s tour kicked-off at the 2013 AVMA Convention in Chicago and is now traveling throughout the USA.
The exhibit will be open to the public at the Reser Stadium parking lot at Oregon State University on Monday, May 19, from 9:30AM-4:30PM. “Animal Connections: Our Journey Together” features feature hands-on and minds-on activities in five sections: The Home, The Farm, The Wild, and The Veterinary Clinic. There are also behind-the-scenes insights into animal care and research at the Smithsonian National Zoo.
Faculty, students, alumni, and friends of the OSU College of Veterinary Medicine are invited to a private viewing of the exhibit that begins with a reception in the Magruder Hall Atrium at 5:00 pm. If you plan to attend the private viewing, please R.S.V.P. to suzanna.chase@oregonstate.edu or phone 541-737-6779.
