Student Life: making a difference
Our students care about making a difference in the veterinary field — and in the world. They make the most of their time outside of class through on-campus activities in Philadelphia’s vibrant setting and at the rural New Bolton Center campus, as well as an array of externships and research experiences.

Delivering on promises

Jake Nicastro, V’24
Enhancing success
“Coming to Penn Vet was my first true introduction to immunology. Hearing how passionate our lecturers were about their research motivated me to get my own dose of that excitement, as well as gain a deeper understanding of immunology and its role in the process of disease.”
