2012 PVM FALL CONFERENCE Dr. Mike Cranfield explains the Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project to a large audience in the Loeb Playhouse. Fall Conference Hits Record Numbers for Attendance The figures are in, and the numbers show that the Purdue Veterinary Medicine 2012 Fall Conference for Veterinarians and Veterinary Technicians set a new record with attendance of about 1,100. The record coincides with the Conference’s return to campus. After being held for several years at the University Plaza Hotel on Northwestern Avenue in West Lafayette, the 2012 Conference was held entirely on the Purdue campus, with all of the CE sessions in Stewart Center and Lynn Hall. The Exhibit Hall also was located in Stewart Center and featured displays by 48 exhibitors. The Conference provided three days of CE programming that added up to a total of 26 available CE credits. With support from a dozen sponsors, the Conference offered about 120 sessions taught by 55 speakers, covering topics ranging from shelter medicine to cardiology to branding and marketing for veterinary clinics. The Thursday afternoon line-up included the Jack and Naomi Stockton/Class of 1971 Lecture, which featured a special presentation on the Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project by the project’s co-director, Dr. Mike Cranfield. Interspersed with the CE lectures were a number of special events, including dedication ceremonies, the annual Fall Conference Awards Celebration, the Medicine Mixer/Auction, the Indiana Animal Health Foundation/ PVM Golf Outing and the Dr. Skip Jackson Dog Jog. Special thanks to the PVM Offices of Lifelong Learning, Advancement, Engagement, the Office of the Dean, the Business Office, Purdue Extended Campus and the members of the Fall Conference Planning Committee: Dr. Larry Adams, Paige Allen, RVT, Dr. Sandy San Miguel, Dr. Pete Bill, Marti Burns, Dr. Kauline Davis, Dr. Amanda Farr, Dr. Harm HogenEsch, Dr. Paula Johnson, Dr. Darryl Ragland and Dr. Jennifer Strasser. Dr. Julie Tucker (2nd from left) and her children are joined by greyhounds, their owners, alumni and veterinary technicians at the dedication ceremony. Dogs “Let Out” for Dog Park Dedication The musical question, “Who let the dogs out?” was the perfect accompaniment to a dedication ceremony formally recognizing the establishment of a dog park for the Greyhounds in the Purdue Veterinary Medicine Blood Donor Dog Program. The Park was created with funds contributed in memory of PVM alumnus Scott Storandt (PU DVM 2000) who passed away unexpectedly in 2006. Dr. Storandt was known for his love of the Blood Donor Program and the Greyhounds that participate in it. Dr. Storandt’s widow and fellow graduate, Dr. Julie Tucker (PU DVM 2001) attended the cermony with her children and parents and several of Dr. Storandt’s classmates. Dean Willie Reed paid tribute to Dr. Storandt during the ceremony, held on Friday of the Fall Conference (Sept. 21), in conjunction with a special Blood Donor Program Community Service Track. As part of the dedication program, several blood donor Greyhounds, accompanied by their owners, PVM veterinary technicians, and Dr. Catharine Scott-Moncrieff, who oversees the Blood Donor Program, walked in a procession to the podium accompanied by the song, “Who let the Dogs Out?” After the ceremony, attendees had a chance to watch the dogs and Dr. Tucker’s children demonstrate how to run and play in the park. A boulder at the entrance to the park contains a plaque acknowledging the support provided for the Dr. Scott Storandt Memorial Blood Donor Dog Exercise Area by the DVM Class of 2000, with additional sponsorship from PETCO and the Brigham Family Foundation.

Thank You for a Great 2012 PVM Auction! Dean Willie Reed starts the bidding by auctioning off Harry Latshaw’s T-shirt, which paid tribute to the late Dr. John Van Vleet, in whose memory the auction was dedicated. Thanks to the participation of PVM faculty, staff, students, and alumni the 21st Annual PVM Auction raised $19,500! A special thank you is in order for all the individual, local and corporate donors who helped make this possible with their contributions of wonderful items for the Auction. Dogs and Joggers Honor Dr. Skip Jackson Race Tradition A total of 70 runners and walkers and more than 30 dogs turned out for the Dr. Skip Jackson Dog Jog on Saturday, September 22 and put a new twist on a long-standing Fall Conference tradition. The event combined the annual Road Race, which dates back to 1972 and is held in honor of Dr. Jackson, professor emeritus of veterinary physiology and biochemistry, with the Dog Jog, an annual event launched on the occasion of the College of Veterinary Medicine’s The auction was dedicated in memory of Dr. John Van Vleet, professor emeritus of comparative pathobiology and former associate dean for academic affairs, who was a long-time advocate and supporter of the auction. Mrs. Nancy Van Vleet was recognized at the start of the auction and the auction proceeds were added to the Dr. John Van Vleet Auction Scholarship. Dean Reed started the bidding by auctioning the first item, which continued a tradition of selling the shirt worn by PVM retiree Harry Latshaw. This year that T-shirt paid tribute to Dr. Van Vleet, and contained a number of his famous quotes, such as “I don’t do computers.” The T-shirt sold for $1,700. The success of the event was the result of a lot of work from an amazing Auction Committee that included faculty, staff, and students. A huge thank you goes to the committee members: Becky Bierman, Thad Blossom, Katie Brown, Ray Buchanan, Marti Burns, Deb Cessna, Barb Cochran, Danae de Vries (DVM Class of ’16), Kathryn Dittmer (DVM Class of ’15), Jessica Engen, RVT, Becky Hershey, Harry Latshaw, RVT, Carlene Linn, Bret Moore (DVM Class of ’15), Dr. Kathy Salisbury, Jeff Spielman, Danita Such, Brady Thompson (DVM Class of ’13), Dr. Jim Weisman, and Sue Wood. And, an extra huge thank you to Stephanie Botkin, the conference coordinator from Purdue Extended Campus, without whose help we could never have accomplished such a successful event. Special thanks must go to Bill Synesael for donating his time to be the auctioneer, Kyle Clever, RVT (and his son, Tyler), and the many student volunteers for their assistance during the auction. Thanks also to the staff from Purdue Extended Campus who registered and checked out all the auction participants. The event provided great fun for everyone involved, some bargains, as well as plenty of opportunities to get some great stuff. Plans are already underway for the 2013 Auction! 50th anniversary in 2009. Dr. Jackson, who is 89, has participated in nearly every Fall Conference Road Race since the first event was organized 40 years ago. Participants were greeted with cooler temperatures and fog as they gathered for the 8:00 a.m. start but the clouds gave way to sun as awards were handed out at the conclusion of the race. All proceeds were designated for Purdue Veterinary Medicine’s PetSafe Program, which meets the short-term housing needs of pets whose owners are temporarily unable to provide care due to such circumstances as natural disasters, domestic violence and health issues. 18
