Purdue Veterinary Medicine is pleased to welcome Nathan Dell as the new assistant director of communications! A high school art teacher by training, Nathan’s passions lie in both visual design and effective communication. With a background in art education and professional experience as a graphic designer, Nathan brings a unique blend of creativity and strategic thinking to the PVM communications team, which is part of the College of Veterinary Medicine’s Office of Engagement. His dedication to crafting compelling messages and his innovative approach will contribute significantly to the college’s communications efforts.

Nathan joins us after spending nearly two years coordinating the marketing and events at the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette, where he refined his skills in photography, graphic design and social media, oversaw publication of the museum’s weekly newsletter, and managed events, including special fundraising events, the annual Art, Bark & Brew, and opening receptions for exhibitions.

Nathan is from Tipton, Indiana where he was a 10-year 4-H member, focusing on projects including art and photography, and for a few years, showing livestock. Within the past few years, he has developed an appreciation for exotic birds (pictured: Benny on the left and Dolly on the right) and loves traveling to visit his family dog, named Superman (pictured on right) whenever he can. In his free time, he can be found painting or enjoying some of the great local coffee shops and art galleries in the Greater Lafayette area with his partner, George.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to do so already, please help extend a warm welcome to Nathan! Our office is located in Lynn 2121 and Nathan can be reached via e-mail at delln@purdue.edu.
