Welcome, Penn Vet Alumni!

Our alumni are part of a long and distinguished history.  Starting with the Class of 1887, more than 6,000 veterinarians have graduated from the Penn School of Veterinary Medicine. We also consider the hundreds of residents, interns, post-doctorates and fellows who have trained alongside VMDs as our alumni.

Today, Penn Veterinary alumni are working across the nation and around the world to improve the health and welfare of animals and humans. We want to hear from you. We want to help connect you with each other, with your School and with current veterinary students as they embark on their journey.  Click on any of our links below or in the sidebar to learn more, and please contact us with your interests and stories.

  • Dear Penn Vet Alumnus,

    It’s that time of year again - we are preparing to welcome the newest class of Penn Vet students! As directors for V’17 Orientation, we would like to invite you to our very special Alumni Quizzo Happy Hour on Wednesday, August 21, from 5-8 pm at The Blockley on 38th and Chestnut. One goal of this year’s Orientation is to begin to foster relationships between students and alumni, and show the Class of 2017 that Penn Vet pride lasts even after graduation!

    We sincerely hope you will be able to join us and help welcome the Class of 2017 to Penn Vet! Please do not hesitate to email us if you have any questions!

    Thank you,
    Stephen Cole and Allison Buysse

  • New & Exciting
    Fun New Look for the AVMA Alumni Reception!
    CHICAGO - July 22

    AVMA Alumni Reception
    Glessner House Museum, Chicago
    (Tours will be available)
    Monday, July 22
    6:30PM - 8:30PM
    Special Performance by Penn Veterinary Alumnae and Jazz Singer Ava Logan!

    For all our VMD's who will be in Chicago attending the AVMA Annual Convention or for those who reside in Chicago - you won't want to miss our Alumni Reception!

    Our exciting location will get you out of the convention center to experience a bit of Chicago history. Just a few minute walk or a two minute cab ride, the Glessner House Museum is a National Historic Landmark. Glessner House was designed by noted American architect Henry Hobson Richardson and completed in 1887. It remains an internationally-known architectural treasure in Chicago. A radical departure from traditional Victorian architecture, the structure served as an inspiration to the young Frank Lloyd Wright and helped redefine domestic architecture. Tours of the house will be available.

    Come enjoy delicious food and drinks in the Coach House and Courtyard while enjoying a wonderful performance by Penn Veterinary alumnae and jazz singer, Ava Logan. At Penn, Logan acquired her VMD, leading to a career as a research specialist in the field of veterinary medicine - not your usual background for a jazz artist, to say the least. Logan hasn't been stingy in sharing her gift. In addition to performing in clubs and concert halls in Chicago, Los Angeles and Florida, she has taken her act to Paris and Rome and Moscow. She has performed one-woman tributes to Fitzgerald, Lena Horne and other favorites. In the process, she has acquired a devoted following that has lifted her into the ranks of must-hear Chicago jazz divas including Dee Alexander, Patricia Barber and Bobbi Wilsyn. You won't want to miss her performance.

    The evening will also include free giveways, an update on the School and alumni programs, faculty and staff members in attendance, and much more. We hope to see you in Chicago!

    Join us! Please RSVP today by emailing Darleen Calahan at coles@vet.upenn.edu or (215) 746-2421.

  • Remember you vet school days! Howard Krum V’92 along with three classmates, Drs. Roy Yanong, Scott Moore, and Patty Hogan have written a novel inspired by their experiences as first-year veterinary students. Dr. Krum noted, “our primary goals for this book, the first in a series, are to elevate the profile of the veterinary life we love while giving back to worthy programs/causes.” The group is donating a portion of the proceeds from each book sold directly to The Penn Vet Working Dog Center with the hope of covering the heath care costs of one of their dogs in training. The book’s website is AnAnimalLife.com
