Hopes for the second historically Black college to have a veterinary school in the U.S.


The University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) has received state approval to create a school of veterinary medicine that will become just the second among the nation's more than 100 historically Black colleges and universities. Tuskegee University in Alabama has the only other veterinary school in the country's historically Black universities and there are fewer than three dozen veterinary programs in the entire U.S. UMES' vet school will "change the landscape," says Moses Kairo, the university's agricultural and natural sciences dean, and fill multiple needs in a profession where Black people make up only 3% of the workforce. "The bottom line is we need more veterinarians of all races, from all backgrounds," observes Stacy Pursell, a recruiter in the animal health industry and CEO of the VET Recruiter. "It's a much bigger picture than just race. There are very limited spots at veterinary schools and they turn away more students than they can accept."
