Come to Urbana in October for Fall Conference

Watch your mailbox in August for the annual Fall Conference registration materials. (Hint: It’s not a booklet any more; it’s a slick brochure.) There’s no better way than attending to earn up to 12 hours of practical continuing education credit and to enjoy the company of colleagues and former classmates and teachers.

The excitement starts Wednesday, October 8, with the biggest and best job fair yet! A highlight will be the introduction of our new interactive job database (see story).

On October 9 and 10 choose from sessions on bioterrorism awareness, PRRS, treating cancer, transdermal therapeutics, small animal endocrinology (with keynote speaker Richard Nelson from the University of California-Davis), canine lameness , diagnosing heart disease, selling or buying a veterinary practice (with Denise Tumblin, a veterinary financial adviser with Wutchiett Tumblin and Associates, of Columbus, Ohio), and more.

Don’t miss the reception on Thursday evening, when the joint College and Alumni Association awards will be given, and the tail gate party and football game against Michigan State on Saturday.

For information on hotel and conference registration, see the brochure mailed in August, visit our Web site (www.cvm.uiuc.edu/ceps/fallconf/), or call Judy Mewes at 217/333-2709.
