About

Margaret Sloss was the first woman to graduate from the College of Veterinary medicine at Iowa State University. She earned her bachelor's degree in zoology from Iowa Sate in 1923 and her master's degree in veterinary anatomy in 1932. Despite an unwritten policy against admitting women as veterinary students, Dean Stange let her accumulate credits in the veterinary medical curriculum, and in August 1938, Margaret Sloss was awarded a D.V.M. degree. She grew up on the Iowa State University campus where her father was Superintendent of Grounds. Her childhood home is now the location of the Margaret Sloss Women's Center, which was established there in 1981.

Margaret Sloss Gender Equity Award for their demonstrated commitment to helping women gain equity at Iowa State University.
