Parents & Partners Day Program

At Parents & Partners Day, families and friends of first-year Penn Vet students visit the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine to learn what becoming a veterinarian will be like. Visit both the Philadelphia (companion animal) and New Bolton Center, Kennett Square (large animal) campuses. Come see how your loved ones will spend their next four years and learn just how important your encouragement and support will be to them. Due to space constrictions for the morning and lunch activities, students are asked to join their parents for the Dean's Reception only at 2:30 PM at New Bolton Center.
