CONGRATULATIONS
Congratulations to the recipients of the following awards given at Fall Conference on September 26, 2007.
² ² ² ² ² ² ² ² ² ²
The Distinguished Alumnus/na Award was established in 1978 by the Class of 1967 in honor and remembrance of deceased classmate, Dr. David Mullis, who, posthumously, was the first recipient.
This year, Dr. Richard A. Goebel (PU ’68) and Dr. John P. Sundberg (PU ’77) received the award.
Dr. Goebel was honored for excellence in practice, involvement in organized veterinary medicine, and in service to his local community. After earning his DVM degree, he moved to California. Even though Dr. Goebel left Indiana, Indiana didn’t leave him and he successfully applied for a position as associate veterinarian at the Magrane Animal Hospital in Mishawaka. In 1988 Dr. Goebel returned to Purdue as the veterinary School’s first hospital director and he continues to serve our School through teaching and as a special assistant to the dean. In addition to his work with the School, Dr. Goebel has been active in the Michiana Veterinary Medical Association, the Indiana Veterinary Medical Association, and the American Animal Hospital Association.
Dr. Sundberg was honored for excellence in teaching and research. After completing his DVM at Purdue, he went on to earn his PhD at the University of Connecticut. He joined the faculty of the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine in 1981 and in 1986, he moved to Bar Harbor, Maine to join the scientific staff of the Jackson Laboratory. Dr. Sundberg is an internationally-recognized expert in mouse pathology. He also discovered and characterized papilloma viruses in a variety of species before becoming involved in genetic engineering at the Jackson Laboratory. Dr. Sundberg has a genuine interest in training others in mouse pathology.

In 1982, upon the recommendation of the SVM Alumni Liaison Committee, the Alumni Faculty Award for Excellence was established to recognize academic excellence and scholarship by faculty of the School.
The 2007 recipient of the Alumni Faculty Award for Excellence is Dr. Eli K. Asem, associate dean of research programs. He was recognized for his achievements in administration, his research accomplishments, his enthusiasm in teaching veterinary students, and his dedication to graduate education. Dr. Asem’s exemplary service to the School and his administrative skills led to a stunning period of expansion in the School’s research enterprise.
² ² ² ² ² ² ² ² ² ²
The Raymond E. Plue Outstanding Teacher Award was approved by the faculty in 1994 and is funded through an endowment established by Dr. Raymond E. Plue (PU ’68). Dr. Plue wanted to reward “truly” outstanding teachers in the School of Veterinary Medicine - teachers who make “extra” effort to influence and inspire students.
The award consists of a crystal obelisk and a check representing the endowment proceeds. This year’s recipient of the Raymond E. Plue Outstanding Teacher Award is Dr. William Blevins, professor of diagnostic imaging. The nominator stated that Dr. Blevins “presents the material in a manner that many of the students seem to easily comprehend…He shows a true enthusiasm for teaching, which really motivates students to learn.”

POLICY FOR WORKING WITH THE NEWS MEDIA
Please see the following guidelines to use during media contacts. Faculty and staff members should feel free to talk to media about topics in their areas of expertise or responsibility, but they are urged to keep the primary communications units informed of events and developments in which there is current or potential public interest. They also are encouraged to consult with those units for advice in media relations.
˜ ˜ ˜ ˜ ˜ ˜ ˜ ˜ ˜ ˜ ˜ ˜ ˜ ˜ ˜ ˜
Guidelines for Media Contacts
The following guidelines are suggested for working with the news media:
1. The news release is just the beginning. Most journalists will use it as the basis for a news article but will wish to talk to you and others directly.
2. When a reporter calls, ask the deadline. If you feel that the request for information is reasonable, give the caller your full cooperation.
3. If you are unprepared when a reporter calls, consider asking whether you can call back in 10 minutes. This will give you time to collect your thoughts and decide what points you want to get across. Of course, make sure you do call right back. Often a reporter's deadline is less than an hour away.
4. Journalists - both broadcast and print - often can use only the barest essentials of an interview. They are looking for succinct and colorful answers. Consider what two or three points you want to communicate. Confine each of your points to three sentences and bridge to them as soon as possible during the interview.
5. You are expected to comment only on matters within your area of expertise. Sometimes, however, a reporter may ask you to comment on a subject far outside your specialty or perhaps ask for a reaction to something that you should not comment on directly. When they do, say, "I can't address that question, but what I can say is…." Then bridge to your message. If the reporter persists, direct him or her to the News Service.
6. Avoid answering hypothetical questions, allowing yourself to be quoted anonymously and "off-the-record" or "no comment" answers.
7. When you give a personal opinion on any subject, be sure the reporter understands that you are speaking for yourself, not for your colleagues or the University.
8. Do not assume that you will see a story before it is published or broadcast. A reporter is under no obligation to show copy to sources. If complex or technical data are involved, you may suggest that the reporter check the story back with you for accuracy. Some reporters are willing - even eager - to do this, but others may refuse.
9. After answering a media call, please inform the News Service of the call.
10. Sign up for a Working with the Media Workshop, which the News Service offers several times a year for groups of 12 to 15. These day-long programs are scheduled at the request of the academic or administrative units.
