Brief history of Faculty Day
Faculty Day of the amalgamated Faculty of
Veterinary Science reflects a proud tradition,
which had been nurtured by the original faculties
of Veterinary Science of both Medunsa and the
University of Pretoria, of showcasing the research
activities of staff and students on a special,
dedicated occasion.
Since the inception of the Faculty of Veterinary Science at
Medunsa in the early 1980s, the staff, and later students,
were involved in the activities of the “Academic Day”,
which was aimed at highlighting the research activities of
the University, as well as exposing young researchers to a
conference environment. The Faculty of Veterinary Science
of the University of Pretoria at Onderstepoort followed this
trend shortly thereafter and the first “Faculty Day”, which
focused on the research activities of the faculty, was
held on 5 September 1984, sponsored by the then Dean,
Prof JMW le Roux. The combined research skills of the two
original institutions are today reflected in the proceedings
of the Faculty Day held each year in the spring at the
Onderstepoort Campus.
