As the class of 1969 celebrates its 50th reunion, the class of 2019 launches careers in veterinary medicine. While they are at different phases of their careers, both classes have fond memories of the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus in St. Paul. Throughout the generations, the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine has shaped the formative years of veterinarians around the country and the world.
