The more signatures we have, the more clout we will bring to the financial table with the Legislators and Governor.
We are interested in ACCESS for resident students for Veterinary Education which is affordable.
If students do not have full-funding for the Veterinary Medical Education Act of 1971 certain schools (ie. Cornell) will not discount the tuition for our NJ contract seats. We need affordable tuition for our Vet students so they can return to New Jersey and practice. We are the one of the largest populated states WITHOUT A VET SCHOOL. We have the largest pharmaceutical industry in the country here in NJ. Dairy and Equine are huge industries. Medical research, anti-bioterrorism, public health all need qualified well-trained veternarians. We need to continue the supply for New Jersey. The VMEA of 1971 is the most cost-effective way for providing for a needed profession.

Please have everyone you know sign.
