Meet the Alumni and Friends Society board
The Alumni and Friends Society
(AFS) is the College of Veterinary
Medicine’s influential network of
alumni. The AFS and its board of directors
support education, research, development,
and community service programs, advise
Dean Trevor Ames on the dispersal of
undesignated gifts to the College, and
foster fellowship and cooperation among
alumni, the College, the University, and
the community. The AFS board is involved
in a variety of projects and activities,
from scholarship, mentorship, and awards
programs to international externships and
eLearning programs.
The AFS board recently led a successful
fundraising effort to add a portable
recorder to the lecture-capture systems
recently installed in several College
lecture halls. The lecture-capture systems
record the presenter’s slides, video, and
voice in a simultaneous mix for simulcast,
online viewing, or use in an online course,
enhancing the accessibility of lectures.
The portable recorder will allow the
College to follow the classroom into
the field, the wet lab, and the Veterinary
Medical Center, where faculty and
clinicians can create modules not taught in
the lecture halls.
The current AFS board president is Roy
Martin, class of 1989, who is a partner
with the Integra Group, a clinical and
preclinical research organization that helps
clients navigate the complex process of
product development, clinical trials, FDA
submissions, and post-market studies. The
other members of the AFS board are:
• Kevin Barcus, class of 1986, who
cofounded Mounds View Animal
Hospital in 1988. A past president of the
AFS board, he has been a member of the
board and director of the AFS mentor
program—the winner of a University of
Minnesota Alumni Association Program
Extraordinare Award—since 1987.
• Lisa Carpenter, class of 1988, owner
of Edinburgh Pet Health Center in
Brooklyn Park, Minnesota.
