College of Veterinary Medicine
Spartans have an uncommon will to create impact for the common good. And each gift — no matter the amount — has the ability to create a transformative impact that builds a far better world. At the College of Veterinary Medicine, that impact touches animals, people, and entire communities.
Every journey begins with just one step, and today you have the opportunity to help us take the first steps toward building a better future. From supporting dual-degree veterinary students, to transforming the way we treat cancer, to building a hospital equipped for modern needs, every step – and gift – makes a difference.
Hospital of the Future
While our current veterinary hospital defines our work today, it wasn’t built to accommodate the pace, complexity, and integration that modern medicine demands — or the innovations that will shape veterinary care in the decades ahead.
In order to continue to satisfy the ever-increasing demands of training students, while meeting patient needs and client expectations, we are looking to build a new veterinary teaching hospital designed not just for today, but for the generations to come.
With your support, we can build a hospital that honors the legacy of veterinary medicine at MSU, meets the demands of today, and positions MSU to lead veterinary medicine into the future.
The new hospital will provide:
- Flexible clinical space that supports collaboration, innovation, and growth
- Expanded capacity for both small and large animal specialty services
- Modern learning environments that mirror today’s clinical realities
- Infrastructure for innovation, including future-ready tools like robotic-assisted surgery, AI-supported imaging, and immersive training
- Stronger connections to One Health, enabling deeper collaboration across animal, human, and environmental health.
Training the Next Generation of Veterinary Scientists
We are preparing the scholars of tomorrow through the College of Veterinary Medicine dual-degree DVM-PhD program. These students are preparing for careers that extend beyond clinical practice. They are future scientists, public health experts, innovators, and leaders studying oncology, zoonotic diseases, antimicrobial resistance, and new and emerging technologies to name a few.
This program doesn’t just shape careers, it multiplies impact.
One student can change a field. One student can change a system. But the path is long, the training is intense, and the financial barriers are steep. These challenges too often force students to choose shorter, less research-intensive paths, and therefore miss this outstanding opportunity.
Your support can change that!
“One Health” Approach to Treating Cancer
One Health: The idea that human and animal medicine is connected—and that breakthroughs in one can lead to discoveries in the other.
The MSU College of Veterinary Medicine is at the heart of One Health work. Our cancer care doesn’t stop in the exam room. Our work with animals is helping shape how we diagnose, treat, and understand cancer across species—including humans.
Many of the cancers we treat in animals—like lymphoma, melanoma, osteosarcoma, and bladder cancer—look and behave just like the cancers we see in humans. What we learn from one patient can inform care for another.
When you support cancer research at MSU, you’re helping pets live longer, healthier lives—and bringing us closer to a world where no family member—human or animal—faces cancer alone.
With your support, we can:
- Expand clinical trials to investigate more diseases
- Invest in the next wave of diagnostic technology
- Accelerate the research that will define the future of cancer care.
