Meet Dr. Margaret Wragg Sloss

The Sloss House and Sloss Center are both named after Dr. Margaret Wragg Sloss, the first woman to graduate with a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from Iowa State University in 1938. Dr. Sloss was a champion for women’s rights, breaking barriers, and advocating for changing the admissions policy at the veterinary school to allow admission to women.
