Celebrating 50% Completion of the Shreiber School of Veterinary Medicine
Veterinary Medicine Milestone Achieved
On September 9, 2024, Rowan University hosted a ceremonial beam signing, marking the halfway point in the construction of the Shreiber School of Veterinary Medicine and the Virtua Health College Research Center. Leaders from Rowan and Virtua Health were in attendance along with community members to celebrate this significant milestone.
Future of Veterinary Education
Matthew Edson, DVM, CVPM, the founding dean, expressed excitement for the first DVM class set to begin in fall 2025, saying, “We want to ensure students learn to be doctors with hands-on experience from Day One.” The facility, part of a $176 million investment, will feature a state-of-the-art teaching hospital.
Innovative Plans for Community Care
- Educational Facilities: The new campus will include advanced classrooms, laboratories, and clinical spaces.
- Community Impact: The teaching hospital aims to enhance emergency and specialty care in South Jersey.
- Collaborative Efforts: The school works alongside Virtua Health, which invested $85 million in support.
As part of the new paradigm in veterinary education, Rowan University is on track to offer pioneering combined degree programs, including a DVM/MBA.
