Dr. Dee Thornell (class of 1981) returned to campus last week to address the class of 2022 and accept an award at the CVM Awards Ceremony. This provided the perfect opportunity to talk with her about her time as a student and the experiences she’s had since graduating.

Graduates of the College's Comparative Medicine and Integrative Biology Program are hooded at their commencement ceremony.

When the Lingk family’s Treeing Walker Coonhound, Marvin, suffered a life-threatening accident, Angie Lingk heard from multiple emergency vets that they would not be able to help him. Luckily, when Angie and Marvin came to the MSU Veterinary Medical Center (VMC), our clinicians were able to help. The experience left her wanting to help veterinary professionals at MSU.

In enthusiastic celebration of the classes of 2022, we look at the top soft skills of today’s Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine graduates.
