Today we are honoring Allison Gossett, RVT, who is a Senior Large Animal Veterinary Technician in the Purdue University Veterinary Hospital.  A grateful staff person shared, “Allison went above and beyond to begin training me without even being asked. She has taught me more than anyone else who works here in my short time here.”  Way to go, Allison – stepping-up to help a colleague transition into a new role!
