The commitment of Purdue University and the College of Veterinary Medicine to foster growth took center stage as Purdue Veterinary Medicine Dean Willie Reed recognized several faculty members during the college\u2019s annual Promotions Celebration Wednesday, July 15.  Conducted virtually, using the Zoom platform, the program honored a total of seven faculty members for being promoted or receiving special appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dean Reed opened the ceremony by emphasizing the importance of promotions in the careers of faculty members. \u201cAt Purdue University each year, well over 100 individuals are promoted,\u201d Dean Reed said. \u201cSo it is a big step in the academic lives of our faculty.\u201d  Dean Reed explained that to be considered for promotion, a faculty member should have demonstrated excellence and scholarly productivity in at least one of three areas: discovery, learning, and engagement.  \u201cTypically the expectation is that a faculty member will show significant scholarship in more than one area. And that\u2019s certainly the case today,\u201d Dean Reed said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dossier for each faculty member being considered is evaluated first at the department-level, then at the college-level by the area promotions committee and finally at the university-level. \u201cThese faculty members have worked long and hard and achieved significant scholarship to deserve to be promoted,\u201d Dean Reed emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
