The Multicultural Association of Pre-Health Students (MAPS) was founded in the Spring of 2013 when Black Pre Health Association (formerly known as the Black Pre Medical Association "BPMA") and the Latin American and Native American Association of Pre-Health Students (LANAPHA) merged into one great organization.

On a campus full of pre-med students, the Pre-Vet Club intends on increasing the opportunities available to pre-vet students. Volunteer opportunities will be facilitated both for animal and veterinary experiences. Members will learn both about the veterinary field as well as the application process and requirements. The Club intends on giving members a thorough knowledge of the veterinary field by visiting and learning about many types of veterinary medicine ranging from small animals to wildlife. Additionally, members will network and provide the necessary resources to adequately prepare for veterinary school.
