Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine proudly celebrates the 30th anniversary of National Veterinary Technician Week, October 15–21, recognizing the outstanding contributions veterinary technicians make to our hospitals and clinics. They are the heart and soul of each facility, collaborating with a dedicated team of veterinary professionals and students to provide every animal and human client with compassionate care.

Thank you, today and every day, to the 129 veterinary technicians, 22 veterinary assistants, and 11 animal care assistants for the tireless effort they extend to embody Cummings School’s charge to heal animals, help humans, and change lives.
