BEAT Vanderbilt - BEAT the Commodores

The University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine welcome our alumni back to the Swamp for our Homecoming Celebration 2009.  Visit with your classmates, former faculty and students and get ready to cheer our Gators on to victory!

The CVM will host a pre-game alumni homecoming celebration on Saturday, November 7.  Bring the family and we will keep the kids busy with our kids carnival while you visit with your friends.  Don't fret about getting to the game - we are hosting the celebration at the Florida Gym this year.

The college has reserved a block of football tickets for CVM alumni and guest(s) who register to attend the CVM Homecoming Celebration.  Each alumni is allowed to order two tickets while available.  To be eligible for football tickets, you must purchase a CVM Homecoming Celebration meal ticket to accompany each football ticket.

If you request football tickets through the College of Veterinary Medicine, you must pick up your tickets during the CVM Homecoming Celebration at the Florida Gym on Saturday, November 7, 2009, from 5 pm until 7 pm.  Game time is 7:15 pm. Check for the game details on gatorzone.com.
