| Trailblazing Veterinarians: Purdue Honors 5 Alumni at Inaugural Dean's Dinner of Distinction | |
 | At a time when veterinary medicine is evolving rapidly -- spanning everything from rural animal care to global research -- Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine used a new stage to spotlight the breadth of that work, honoring five alumni whose careers reflect the profession's expanding reach. "These individuals represent the very best of Purdue Veterinary Medicine," said Bret D. Marsh, the college's dean. "Their impact has extended far beyond their individual careers as they have shaped communities, advanced animal and human health, and strengthened the profession as a whole." Among them is Nicholas Frank, an internationally recognized expert in equine endocrinology whose career has bridged research and academic leadership. After early work in private equine practice, Frank returned to Purdue for advanced training before holding senior roles at the University of Tennessee and Tufts University. He now serves as dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine at Mississippi State University. |
