July 10th, 2018

It is my great honour and privilege to be here with you today as Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine (RUSVM) expands its research footprint in St. Kitts and Nevis.

I am confident that the official opening of this USD $10.5 million-dollar Biosafety Level 2 (BSL-2) Research and Pathology building will further enhance Ross University’s academic reputation, as well as its already high standards.

Significantly, the new building represents the next phase of RUSVM’s important research into the study, diagnosis and control of veterinary diseases.
