Early Entry Program
“Being an early entry student was an amazing opportunity. It allowed me to become a member of the CVM family before I entered vet school and helped me to be more comfortable when I started. My time spent at MSU CVM opened many doors and allowed me to have experiences that I never could have imagined. From working with lions and tigers to being able to speak with representatives of the State of Mississippi— the experiences at MSU CVM are amazing.”
— LaDarrius Battee, DVM, Class of 2019
“Mississippi State University and the MSU College of Veterinary Medicine hold a special place in my heart. My education at MSU CVM truly prepared me to hit the ground running in private practice. The challenges and hard work were so worth it, and the memories made along the way are priceless to me! It was a ‘no brainer’ when the opportunity to return to the CVM as a teacher presented itself. I feel like this is my way of giving back to the College, and the very best part is working with the students to positively impact the future of veterinary medicine.”

“Having served in the military, I have a keen understanding of the role great leaders, preparation, teamwork and commitment play in achieving successful outcomes. When individual team members excel, the overall team performs at its best. In every department of our College I have been met with extraordinary men and women who work tirelessly to have a positive impact on the lives of those around them. The selfless dedication and commitment of both the students and faculty at MSU CVM has been inspirational to me and is an excellent example of how success is attained.
