“One of our priorities at the UF College of Veterinary Medicine is to strategize innovative and holistic ways to build a complete community that enables all members of our CVM family to thrive. Cultivating a supportive environment that emphasizes mental health, well-being and provides meaningful resources and community initiatives is a major point of emphasis at both our college and university. People are our greatest resource and we want every one of them to feel valued and appreciated.”
