February is Black History Month and Companions and Animals for Reform and Equity (CARE) is back with its 4th Annual American Black History Series.
CARE hosts this free series in order to raise awareness around the lack of Black veterinarians and to raise scholarship funds for Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) veterinarian students. Only two percent of the veterinary field are African American.
All events are scheduled to take place on Thursdays at 3PM / 6PM ET in February unless otherwise noted.
