This summer, for the third year in a row, students from the College of Veterinary Medicine participated in a research program sponsored by the Merck Foundation and the College of Veterinary Medicine. Drs. Gary Osweiler, Prem Paul and Donald Reynolds spearheaded the project this year. Seven of the nine students in the program were sponsored by the Merck Foundation and two were sponsored by the College of Veterinary Medicine. Each student was required to write a research proposal and to carry out a research project in conjunction with a professor from the college.
