 Reunion 2008
Preliminary Schedule
The following activities and programs include those events specific to the College of Veterinary Medicine. College reunion programming is planned to complement Cornell University Reunion which occurs at the same time. There are many programs open to registered alumni and guests during the Reunion 2008 weekend. A final, comprehensive schedule of events can be found in the Reunion program, which is distributed at registration in the Hagan Room beginning Thursday, June 5, 2008.
College of Veterinary Medicine reunion registration materials will be mailed to each DVM graduate in the 3's and 8's in mid April - each class will receive registration materials specific to that class. These materials are not to be confused with general reunion materials which dual degree holders will receive. DVM graduates should register through the College of Veterinary Medicine. PRE-REGISTRATION IS NECESSARY TO ATTEND REUNION EVENTS.
