Letter from Our DeanWelcome, Partners, from the LSU School ofVeterinary Medicine. It is with true personalpride that I share with you this Annual AdvancementReport. It highlights the extraordinary educational,research, and service achievements that LSU SVM hasattained in the 2009-2010 fiscal year. This summary ofanother great year profiles not only those whose liveswe have touched, but also the many individuals andorganizations who have inspired us by touching ourmission.Our focus during the year has been you—our Partners.When your School of Veterinary Medicine wasfounded in 1968, our mandate was to educate futureveterinarians. Since then, our mission has expanded.Your partnership and support have helped us evolveinto a thriving biomedical research institution with over$47 million dollars in extramural grants and contracts.The scientific investigations we conduct every day withour research partners have enormous significance toboth animals and humans.In addition to empowering our educational and researchmissions, the LSU SVM’s Veterinary Teaching Hospitalserves as a resource for both animals and people.In 2009-2010, the Hospital provided care for over22,000 companion and other animals while providingnecessary veterinary medical and clinical experience forour students. That experience also extends beyond ourdoors—both in the ambulatory services provided by theLarge Animal Clinic and in the community engagementprovided by the Shelter Medicine/Disaster Responseprogram. With your funding, Shelter Medicine studentparticipants directly supported local animal sheltersin times of emergencies. Between disasters, it hasprovided community outreach in the form of homelessanimal care, spay/neuter surgeries, and pet populationcontrol. This front-line primary care trains students inthe well-medicine basics they will encounter in privatepractice.In May 2010, as our 34th class of veterinarians walkedacross the stage, the number of our graduates toppedthe twenty-four hundred mark. Since 1977, we havegraduated 2,419 veterinarians. Because you partneredwith us and supported the Advance Veterinary MedicineFund, we were able to boost our endowed scholarships.Gifts from alumni and friends like you ensured aminimum $2,000 award for every endowed scholarshiprecipient. We will continue to build our endowment sothat our goal of $5,000 per endowed scholarship isattained.In the face of economic uncertainty, strong partnershipsare priceless! Our challenge in the next twelve monthsis to continue our commitment—to provide the bestveterinary medical education, to remain a leader instate-of-the-art veterinary and biomedical research,and to serve our community with the compassion andconsistent commitment that you expect. Our successis largely attributed to you—our alumni, friends, faculty,staff, and students—our Partners! Thank you!Peter F. Haynes, DVM, DACVS4
