As part of the Outstanding Staff and Bravo Awards program and reception Monday, June 11, several Purdue Veterinary Medicine staff members were honored for completing the online Certificate Program for Diversity and Inclusion in Veterinary Medicine. Dean Willie Reed explained that the certificate program, developed in conjunction with the American Veterinary Medical Association and the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges, is offered through PVM\u2019s Center of Excellence for Diversity and Inclusion in Veterinary Medicine. \u201cDiversity and inclusion are key components of our College\u2019s values and culture, and we are proud of these individuals for their dedication in promoting a collegial work and learning environment enhanced by diversity,\u201d Dean Reed said.<\/p>\n

To successfully finish the online certificate program, the honorees completed a series of online modules; gained life experiences through volunteer community service and activities, such as attending cultural events and lectures in the community or national or regional meetings focused on diversity and inclusion; and reflected on their experiences. They also submitted a capstone paper on how they will use the information gained in the program to strengthen diversity and inclusion in veterinary medicine.<\/p>\n
