School of Veterinary Medicine Teaching Awards

The Veterinary Schools teaching awards were presented during the Veterinary Medical Student Government Teaching Award Ceremony and Reception on April 27 at Houston Hall.

Dr. Robert Gilley, assistant professor of surgery, was presented the Carl J. Norden Distinguished Teacher Award. The Norden Award was established in 1963 "to recognize outstanding teachers who, through their ability, dedication, character and leadership, contribute significantly to the advancement of the profession."

Dean Alan M. Kelly presented the Deans Award for Leadership in the Basic Sciences to Dr. Thomas J. Van Winkle, professor of pathology; and the Deans Award for Leadership in Clinical Science to Dr. Kathryn Michel, assistant professor of medicine. The two Deans Awards honor one faculty member from the clinical departments and one from the basic science departments who have made outstanding contributions to teaching their disciplines.
