They renewed acquaintances, visited with PVM faculty who were in attendance, and heard an update on the College and new hospital project from Dean Willie Reed. The reception was held February 18 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, which was the site for the conference. Two Purdue Veterinary Medicine graduates, Dr. Mark Hilton (PU DVM ’83) and Dr. Debbie White (PU DVM ’94) serve on the WVC Board of Directors. Dr. Hilton is the WVC’s immediate past president.
