Overview

Hanover College is partnering with Ivy Tech-Madison to develop a Veterinary Teaching Center (“VTC”). The goal is to produce highly skilled veterinary professionals, meeting critical shortages and supporting growth by expanding a key workforce and increasing post-secondary educational attainment. The VTC will offer a 2+2 Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program in partnership with Western University of Health Sciences (Pomona, CA) and an Associates of Science in Veterinary Nursing degree offered by Ivy Tech Community College-Madison. READI funding will be used toward design, construction, equipment and furnishings costs for the animal dissection facility. Design process is anticipated to begin in March 2023 with the completion of construction in July 2024. The project will create a hub, talent attractor, and economic development engine for innovation in the pet health, agribusiness, agritourism, and biomedical industries. Additionally, the VTC will drive population growth by attracting students from across the nation and embedding them in IN through hands-on learning experiences, clinical placements, and job opportunities.
