In celebration of the Indiana Pacers’ amazing run in the NBA playoffs, Purdue Veterinary Medicine faculty, staff and students were well represented in a group photo in front of Lynn Hall this morning, just hours before the start of Game 4 of the NBA Finals, which takes place tonight at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Sporting Pacers gear and colors, the PVM team members displayed their allegiance to the Pacers, providing more proof that in 49 states, its just basketball, BUT THIS IS INDIANA!

PVM staff members Andrea Kellogg and Kevin Doerr join the cat in the College of Veterinary Medicine’s Continuum sculpture in showing support for Boomer, the Pacers’ mascot.

The College of Veterinary Medicine also is especially suited to back the Pacers’ mascot Boomer, which is a cat! The Continuum Sculpture in front of Lynn Hall even includes a cat. So Boomer – whenever you need veterinary care, the college and Purdue University Veterinary Hospital are here for you!

Congratulations Pacers on your outstanding season and best wishes for tonight!

GO PACERS!!!
