"This is an important opportunity for students, especially for those who might not have been ready to enroll in classes at the start of the spring semester." The spring semester runs through May 28.

Our partner, Greater Good Charities, recently let us know they need additional veterinary support and asked our President & CEO Dr. Gary Weitzman to deploy as part of their response to the crisis in Ukraine."
