VMAA 2024 Membership Form

Student Outreach Bureau Survey


The Veterinary Medical Alumni Association (VMAA) at Iowa State University is a long-established membership association that operates independently to enhance alumni, student and college interests.

Graduates of the College of Veterinary Medicine are asked to support the VMAA with annual dues of $50. Members elect a board of directors to plan and oversee the policies, activities and fiduciary responsibilities of the association. It is managed by volunteers with the intermittent use of clerical and student help.

A variety of initiatives are underwritten entirely or with major support from the VMAA. Its budget allocations include:

  • support and organization of alumni activities during ISU's Homecoming (members can purchase discounted football tickets)
  • funding for ISU Alumni Receptions held annually at three major professional meetings
  • scholarship support for students
  • support for special projects such as the Gentle Doctor magazine, the White Coat Ceremony,  and the Ramsey Alumni Room

VMAA Mission

  • Promote fellowship among alumni of the College of Veterinary Medicine
  • Further the interests of the College of Veterinary Medicine
