Owensboro, KY (09/24/2018) — Owensboro Community & Technical College is hosting an event for Harrison College students in the Veterinary Technology program. The Harrison College students have been displaced due to the sudden closing of Harrison College.

"These are students that through no fault of their own have found themselves in a position with limited opportunity to complete their degree. We are excited to meet with them and see if we can assist" commented Dr. Scott Williams, OCTC President.
OCTC's Veterinary Technology program classrooms and the teaching hospital are located at the Downtown Campus. Interested students should park in the rear parking lot (accessible from 15thor Daviess streets) and enter the building through the double doors. Please meet in classroom DT 30.
