Revolutionary Veterinary School Launch Imminent: Murray State University Leads the Charge
In a landmark moment for Kentucky's educational frontier, Murray State University is on the brink of making history with the imminent launch of its groundbreaking School of Veterinary Medicine. The Kentucky House of Representatives has given the green light to House Bill 400, marking a pivotal step towards realizing this visionary project. Murray State President Dr. Bob Jackson extends heartfelt gratitude to legislators for their unwavering support in ushering in the state's inaugural veterinary college.
