UPDATE 2008: THE FIRST YEAR OF MAKING HISTORY | |
| Last year's greatest fundraising triumph? | |
| Gifts from John and Marianne Castle and William S. Farish which enabled us to launch the Laminitis Institute dedicated to research, care, and teaching related to the second most deadly disease of the horse. In addition, Mrs. Betty Moran made the naming gift for the new high risk/critical care center at Penn Vet's New Bolton Center. | |
| Biggest (and nicest!) surprise? | |
| Receiving the largest estate gift in the School's history from Col. John I. and Dorothy Leonard. The Leonards' generosity will have a tremendous impact on the Matthew J. Ryan Hospital for companion animal care. | |
| Most memorable moment? | |
| Through a generous gift from Vernon and Shirley Hill, we awarded the first Penn Vet World Leadership In Animal Health Award and the first two Penn Vet Student Inspiration Awards this spring. | |
| Your main focus this year? | |
| Penn Vet will celebrate its 125th anniversary in 2009. Our plans are to share our philosophy of "One Medicine" and celebrate our long and distinguished history with events aimed at bettering the lives of animals and humans. | |
| What's most exciting about Making History? | |
| Penn Vet's Potential to impact global health, animal welfare, and advances in animal and human medicine has never been greater. We are redefining veterinary medicine and Penn Vet's role as an international leader. | |
