About Us

Our purpose, as stated in our Official Constitution is "to provide an opportunity through which interested students may meet, explore, and gain knowledge of the field of veterinary medicine", and "develop closer ties of fellowship through a social atmosphere among students interested in veterinary medicine." To accomplish these goals, the Pre-Vet Club holds bi-monthly general meetings. These meetings include a brief period of club business and announcements, followed by a program relating to the practice of veterinary medicine, or admission to the College of Veterinary Medicine. This includes speakers from a wide range of areas in the profession, with topics such as companion animal/large animal case studies, shelter and zoo medicine, wildlife, and more. 

Membership is open to The Ohio State University students. General body meetings are every other Wednesday at 7:00 pm at the Veterinary Medical Center Auditorium. Club dues are $11.00 per semester, or $20.00 per year, due October 11th (if you did not pay for the entire year, spring semester payments will be due TBA). You can send your Venmo payments to @Theresa-Octaviano with your name.# in the subject. Please do not add "Personal Protection" since this charges an additional fee. The last four digits of Theresa’s phone number are 3153. If you are unable to pay via Venmo, please contact Theresa (octaviano.3@osu.edu) to pay with cash or check.


In addition to regular meetings the club also hosts social events, fundraisers, and volunteer opportunities to provide practical experience in veterinary medicine as well as foster a social atmosphere between Pre-Vet students. Check out the
Get Involved or Calendar page for information on upcoming meetings, socials, fundraisers, and more!

Executive Board 2022-2023
 

Our club holds Executive Board meetings on the weeks in between general meetings. These are held on Wednesdays at 7 pm in the Enarson Classroom Building. The Executive Board is elected by the club during the Spring Semester. Interested in being on our executive board? Check out our Elections page, officers listed below, and see our Constitution (Articles IV - VIII) to view the requirements and responsibilities for each position. You can petition the current executive board if you do not meet the requirements. Feel free to contact the person who currently holds the position of interest to discuss that position, or if you have any other questions regarding the club. 

Congratulations to everyone elected on to the board for 2023-2024!
