A total of ten Purdue Veterinary Medicine faculty members were honored for service anniversary milestones during a university recognition program held near the end of the fall semester. The festive occasion November 29 in the Purdue Memorial Union North Ballroom included a special appearance by Purdue Pete.
More than 270 faculty members were recognized for their years of service to Purdue at the Faculty Service Recognition Luncheon hosted by the Office of the Provost. “Recognizing our esteemed faculty members is a wonderful way to acknowledge their dedication and invaluable contributions to our academic community — for the countless lives they have touched during their time at this great institution,” said Patrick Wolfe, Purdue provost and executive vice president for academic affairs and diversity.
Faculty members were honored for achieving service anniversaries in 2023 ranging from 10 to 40 years and in one case, even 50 years at the university’s West Lafayette campus. “We thank them, not just for their time, but also for their continued collaborative efforts and commitment to equipping the next generation of leaders in solving the most challenging problems of our world today, tomorrow, and in years to come,” Provost Wolfe said.
