The sculpture in front of the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine bears the title \u201cContinuum,\u201d a term that also applied to a special event hosted by the college in honor of its faculty emeriti August 23.  Held at the Dauch Alumni Center, the Emeritus Faculty Dinner provided a means for the college to stay engaged with retired faculty members who invested their careers in veterinary medical education and scientific discovery at Purdue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bi-annual event featured both information and entertainment for two dozen faculty emeriti and spouses who attended.  The entertainment was provided by Ba Na Na, a small ensemble of Purdue Musical Organizations\u2019 students specializing in an eclectic mix of music from the 60\u2019s and 70\u2019s.  Then Dean Willie Reed shared an update on the College, including details about the opening of the new David and Bonnie Brunner Purdue Veterinary Medical Hospital Complex, admissions and enrollment data, as well as highlights involving research, education, diversity, equity and inclusion, and faculty awards and honors.  The retired faculty and spouses also enjoyed visiting and sharing stories about their times at Purdue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
