Alumni and Friends: We Want to Hear About You!

Great news! We have started a brand new alumni-related feature called "Featured Alumnus". Here we will post many varying stories about the things our esteemed and talented alumni are involved in and highlight those that are achieving and making an impact on veterinary medicine in any capacity. So, if you are or know an alumni member doing something interesting, we invite you to submit the story for consideration. We look forward to hearing many incredible stories from you and want to share these things with all our alumni as a way to connect our big CVHS family.

Submitting a story is now easier than ever with two options:

1. Submit your story on the new online form.
2. Contact our Alumni Affairs Specialist Sharon Worrell at sworrel@okstate.edu or (405) 744-5630.
