veterinary school | Horse Racing Free Tips

The Rowan School of Veterinary Medicine is slated to open in the fall of 2025 in Sewell, New Jersey, on Rowan University's main campus. It will become the 34th veterinary school in the United States.

Rowan will be one of two schools to offer doctorate degrees in medicine, as well as veterinary and osteopathic medicine. In addition to undergraduate, graduate and doctoral degrees, the school will offer internship and residency programs. The inaugural class will have 60 students.

Founding dean Dr. Matthew Edson told WHYY that the school will be non-traditional because of its focus on producing diverse graduates who are prepared to practice the day they graduate. Education will focus on business acumen and social skills, as well as practical preparation.

The medical complex will be 100,000 square feet, with a teaching hospital, classrooms, and laboratories. In November, the New Jersey State Legislature approved $75 million for construction of the facility, which is currently in the design phase.

Officials at the Kentucky Equine Education Project (KEEP) and the Race For Education (RFE) have announced the recipients of scholarships for 2020. A total of $21,000 in scholarships was approved by the KEEP Foundation board of directors and will be distributed among 18 students attending 10 institutions within the Commonwealth of Kentucky. All are currently enrolled in an equine and/or, agriculture related major or a horse-related program.

In addition to the 18 Kentucky students, RFE awarded its Robert J. Frankel Scholarship to New York student Elsa Loriel. The Frankel Award is given to a student attending university in California or New York and whose family is employed in the Thoroughbred industry. Loriel’s father is a long-time assistant to Shug McGaughey, while her mother is an exercise rider for Christophe Clement.

KEEP and RFE awarded the RFE/KEEP Veterinary Scholarship for the first time. The 2020 recipient is Lacey Willis, a native of Warren County and graduate of Western Kentucky University who enters veterinary school this fall at Auburn.

“Having a group of quality students interested in equine careers from around the country, attending universities in Kentucky, truly represents the statewide nature of our industry”, said Elisabeth Jensen, KEEP’s Executive Vice President.
