ISU Veterinary Medicine Student Pioneers

This guide will highlight some of the early students of color who graduated from Iowa State University's College of Veterinary Medicine and provide resources for further research into these individuals.

J. N. Archer (DVM 1949)

Based strictly on his graduation photo, this may be another African American CVM graduate. His name was not included from the list of Black graduates that I was working from. More research is needed.

Reported in Iowa State Veterinarian vol. 13, is. 1, 1951, J. N. Archer (DVM 1949) was on the clinical staff at the Tuskegee Institute School of Veterinary Medicine.
