Hosted by the Animal Care & Use Program Leadership Team, AAALAC Preparation Town Halls will focus on final Site Visit preparations, including:
- What to expect during the Site Visit
- How to approach Site Visitor questions
- A last-minute Q&A with representatives from the animal care team as well as other collaborating departments
One member from each laboratory should plan to attend either an AAALAC Preparation Town Hall or Spring 2026 ULAM Faculty Vet Check-In Meeting 
to learn more about the Site Visit timeline and expectations for participation.
Please note that valid U-M credentials are required for participation.
