When Travis Kent was still a high school student in Boise, Idaho, Washington State University was one of his top choices. But it was on a visit to the WSU School of Molecular Biosciences when he was told about STARS, a fast-track program where students can begin as undergraduates and earn a doctorate in seven years, when he knew this was the place for him.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\tView Reaching for the STARS<\/a>\n<\/article>

Message from the Dean<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/header>\n\t\t

Milestones: Significant moments in time to take stock, celebrate achievement and history, and then continue to march ahead strongly. There have been many of these recently.<\/p>\n

Washington State University celebrates its 125th year in 2015. Your College of Veterinary Medicine is a mere 116 years old\u2014the fifth oldest in the United States. But, because a veterinarian was one of the University\u2019s founding three faculty members in 1890, there has always been a veterinarian on the faculty at WSU.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\tView Message from the Dean<\/a>\n<\/article>
