Mark your calendars! Join us on Tuesday, August 24 at 12 noon PDT for an open, informal 60-minute conversation and Q+A with Dr. Lila Miller, DVM,  a groundbreaking and trailblazing visionary!

In 1977, Dr. Lila Miller ( @Lila Miller ) was one of the first two African American women to ever graduate from Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine. In a career spanning 42 years, Dr. Miller transformed the lives of countless pets, developing the first veterinarian-written guidelines for shelter animal care, which are now used in shelters across the country to ensure the humane treatment of shelter pets.
