Purdue Veterinary Medicine\u2019s three-year action plan focuses on two goals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Increasing faculty, staff, and student awareness of Purdue\u2019s definition of engagement and college engagement programs and opportunities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Developing and implementing a standardized system for tracking, collecting metrics, and celebrating community engagement activities of faculty, staff and students.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis process enabled us to take stock of all of the diverse engagement initiatives we have launched with communities across the globe,\u201d said Dr. S. Kathleen Salisbury, interim dean of the college and associate dean for academic affairs. \u201cAs a result, we are inspired to expand awareness of all that we are accomplishing through these mutually beneficial collaborations that positively impact animal and public health.\u201d<br><br>Many thanks to the task force members for their hard work in making this happen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sandy San Miguel, Associate Dean for Engagement and Professor, &#8212; Task Force Chair<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Candace Croney, Associate Vice Provost for Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging, Director for <a href=\"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/caws\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Center for Animal Welfare Science<\/a>, and Professor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kenitra Hendrix, <a href=\"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/addl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory<\/a> Director and Clinical Associate Professor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Geoff Lossie, Director of Veterinary Extension and Clinical Assistant Professor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ellen Lowery, Associate Dean for Hospital Operations, Chief Veterinary Officer, and Clinical Professor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leanne Nieforth, Assistant Professor of the Human Animal Bond<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Erin Phillips, Principal, Thomas Miller Elementary School<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Malathi Raghavan, Director for Outcomes Assessment and Data Management and Clinical Associate Professor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Darryl Ragland, Section Head of Production Medicine and Professor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ramon Roberts, DVM Student, Class of 2027<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Addison Sheldon, Director for <a href=\"https:\/\/vet.purdue.edu\/global\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Global Engagement<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Christina Wilson-Frank, Toxicology Section Head, Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory, and Clinical Professor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/engagement\/purdues-engaged-college-program-elevating-community-engagement-across-campus\/\">Click here to read more about Purdue University\u2019s Engaged College Program.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine is participating in the University\u2019s Engaged College Program (ECP), which is a new initiative developed by Purdue\u2019s Office of Engagement to support colleges with the resources to focus on building, sustaining, assessing, bringing awareness to, and rewarding quality community engagement activities.
