Veterinary Alumni Silent Auction

Veterinary Alumni Silent Auction logo

The OSU College of Veterinary Medicine Alumni Society Silent Auction raises scholarship funds that directly support veterinary students and their educational journey. Held in conjunction with the Midwest Veterinary Conference (MVC), the auction brings together alumni, friends, and supporters to invest in the future of the veterinary profession while participating in a fun and engaging event.

Attendees have the opportunity to bid on a variety of donated items, experiences, services, and other unique offerings. Through the generosity of donors and sponsors, the silent auction helps provide valuable scholarship support and creates meaningful opportunities for students pursuing careers in veterinary medicine.

Silent Auction Details

Next year's silent auction will be held during the 2027 MVC from Thursday, February 18 through Friday, February 19 at the alumni booth near the exhibit hall entrance. Attendees are invited to bid in person throughout both days.
