Halloween made for an especially festive Monday in Lynn Hall this week, with a variety of costumed characters and Halloween happenings marking the occasion at the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine.  Among the notable sightings was that of the Peanuts Gang, led by Charlie Brown, aka Dr. Chad Brown, director of Veterinary Nursing Programs and clinical associate professor.  He was, of course, accompanied by others on the \u201cteam,\u201d including Snoopy (Rachel Kelly, academic advisor), Woodstock (Beth Laffoon, RVT, instructional technologist), Peppermint Patty (Pam Phegley, RVT, clinical rotation\/mentorship coordinator), Pig-Pen (Holly McCalip, RVT, instructional technologist), the blanket-toting Linus (Angela Arellano, VN Program administrative assistant) and Lucy (Jennifer Smith, RVT, RLAT, instructional technologist).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another spooky twist Monday came courtesy of the Diagnostic Imaging Team\u2019s Halloween Dessert Bake-Off.  With Harry Potter themed decorations and characters, the setting for the Bake-off definitely looked appropriate!  The judging was by popular vote, with some 100 votes cast in each of two categories.  Second-year Small Animal Internal Medicine Resident, Dr. Nicole Gibbs, took top honors in the \u201cBest Design\u201d category for her \u201cdirt pudding graveyard;\u201d and Versa Technologist Torrie Shackelford won the prize for Best Taste with her Oreo and Reese’s dessert cheeseballs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
