The University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine’s New Bolton Center has announced the schedule for the First Tuesday Lecture Series through September 2011. The large animal campus of Penn’s School of Veterinary Medicine, New Bolton Center hosts an ongoing series of lectures on topics of interest to horse owners and care givers. Free and open to the public, the lectures take place from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on the first Tuesday of every month.

"This has been a thrilling endeavor," says Rose Nolen-Walston DVM, organizer of the series. "We started the lecture series about a year ago, as a way to share our knowledge with the local community. When we started, we didn’t know if we would have enough lectures to fill six months, or if people would even attend. Now the room is filled month after month, and the wonderful faculty and clinicians at New Bolton Center enthusiastically offer to participate."

Nolen-Walston says that New Bolton Center hopes to make the presentations available on Penn Vet’s website in the near future.

The series of one hour lectures covers a wide range of veterinary subjects, each one of relevance to the horse owner and caregiver. All are presented by New Bolton clinicians with expertise in the subject
