South Jersey business leader and philanthropist Gerald Shreiber (seated, center) is surrounded by University and state officials, who gathered to celebrate his
$30 million gift to New Jersey's first veterinary school. The school is now the
Shreiber School of Veterinary Medicine, a tribute to the South Jersey entrepreneur who has generously supported education and animal health and wellness for decades.
With the addition of the veterinary school—expected to welcome its first class in 2025—Rowan will be one of only two universities in the nation to offer three medical degrees: D.V.M., D.O., and M.D. Currently, there are just 33 veterinary schools in the United States and only five on the east coast.
