The year 2012 will mark the 150th anniversary of the University of Glasgow’s School of Veterinary Medicine, which was founded in 1862 by James McCall.  Plans are already underway to mark this anniversary with a year long integrated campaign to both honour the past and look forward to ongoing success in the future.

Events will be occurring throughout 2012 targeted at the general public, veterinary surgeons and nurses, staff and students, friends and alumni.  The focal point of the celebrations will take place between 5-7 October 2012 which will include the McCall Lecture, a day of CPD and a social programme.
