Attendees can engage with top scientists, advocates, and veterinarians leading the charge towards a healthier future for our planet and learn about actions needed to join the force. We are currently accepting registrations, which is FREE for students! Please check out our website for program details, speaker information, registration and more!

Can Veterinary Education SAVE the Planet?

Climate change is poised to be the most significant global health threat of the 21^stcentury. Building on the just-released US Climate Assessment Report, Colorado State University students are advocating that veterinarians get involved in this important issue. As part of a second-year elective course, a group of students have designed a survey to assess what veterinary students know, and want to know, about the relationship between climate change and health. Responses will be used to help shape educational opportunities and at the end of the survey you will have the opportunity to join the SAVE community and be entered to win cool schwag. Make your voice heard now!  The survey can be accessed through this hyperlink:
