Teens with an interest in animals and veterinary science can now sign up for the 4-H Veterinary Science Series, which will be held at SUNY Ulster. There are two units in the series with each being a five-week commitment. The program is sponsored by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County 4-H Youth Development and the SUNY Ulster Vet Tech Program. This program  can accomodate teens with special needs. Thursdays, 6:30-8:30.

Unit 1 runs every Thursday from January 26 to February 23. 
 Unit 2 is Thursdays from March 1 to March 29. 
The class is from 6:30 pm to 8 pm. Area veterinarians and other speakers will provide hands-on teaching in a clinical setting. In the first unit, youth will explore the “Normal Animal” to include attitude and behavior, maintaining animal health, and the organs and systems of the animal body. In the second unit the “Abnormal Animal” will be discussed, which includes diseases such as viruses, bacteria and parasites that affect animal health. The instructors will also discuss the profession of veterinary science and career paths as well. Participation is limited to 24 youth aged 14 to 19. 
The registration fee is $20 for enrolled 4-H members or $30 for non-4-H members, which is due with program registration. Registrations will be received on a paid, first-come first-served basis. For more information call Jenny Lang of CCEUC’s 4-H Program at 845-340-3990 ext. 313.
