This fall marked the start of a new chapter in the life of Purdue alumnus and staff member John Fisher who joined the College of Veterinary Medicine’s Office of Admissions and Recruitment as the Admissions Process Manager. In his new role, John will facilitate the DVM admissions process for the Admissions Committee while also recruiting for the DVM and Veterinary Nursing programs.
A native of the Lafayette area, John earned his Purdue degree in Anthropology. His various assignments at Purdue have included serving as a conference coordinator, director of alumni relations and special events, and most recently as the director of recruiting for the College of Science. His work experience also includes serving as the community relations manager at Barnes & Noble.
During his time at Purdue, John had the opportunity to ride for the Purdue Equestrian team, which spawned an enduring passion for all things horse related. He has fond memories of sneaking into the Veterinary Medical Library during his lunch breaks to read The BloodHorse magazine. John currently has several broodmares which are boarded in Louisville, Kentucky.
John’s home is on the family farm that has been in his family for 81 years. He currently shares the residence with two elderly cats known for their cranky dispositions and a Whippet who is slightly terrified of the cats.
Please help extend a warm PVM welcome to John Fisher!
