DEAN’S MESSAGE

Lonnie J. King, DVM Dean and Ruth Stanton Chair in Veterinary Medicine College of Veterinary Medicine

Dear Alumni and Friends: The past year has brought great momentum to many college programs and projects, and we are proud to present some of the highlights in this annual magazine.

We hosted our second annual “Focus Forward Weekend,” completed work on an Economic Impact Study, helped organize an international symposium with partners in Ethiopia, sponsored the largest-ever Veterinary Student Summer Research Program, welcomed a new director for the Veterinary Medical Center as well as several new faculty, celebrated awards and retirements, and continued important outreach work. Be sure to check out pages 22-23, which feature recent renovations to our Veterinary Medical Center.

On June 18, Ohio State shifted its academic calendar from quarters to semesters. Preparation for this began several years ago and has taken the efforts of nearly everyone in the college. We are adjusting to this different calendar.

We celebrated our final June commencement in 2012; in 2013 spring commencement will move to May. The university has embraced a new model for communications, alumni relations, and fundraising. The “advancement” model offers a new structure that brings these functions together formally, just in time for our upcoming campaign.

You’ll hear much more about fundraising efforts in the fall, when the campaign kicks off in October.

I hope you will plan to join us for our Reunion-Homecoming Weekend October 5-7. The university will celebrate Homecoming Weekend, and we will welcome back to campus all of our alumni, with special class reunions planned for Friday, October 5. The Buckeyes’ football game on Saturday, October 6 will be a matchup against the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Prior to the game, we will host the annual Alumni Tailgate on the lawn, preceded by my “State of the College” talk, and the annual membership meeting for our Alumni Society.

I look forward to seeing you!

Sincerely,

Dean Lonnie J. King

Economic Impact Study In 2011 the College of Veterinary Medicine and the OVMA jointly commissioned a study about the impact of the field of veterinary medicine on the state of Ohio.

A pdf of the full report can be found at: vet.osu.edu/cvm/history.

The college produced a shortened, easy-to-read version of the report, which is also available at the url listed above.

This condensed version was distributed in November, 2011, to the members of the OVMA.

International Congress examines zoonotic diseases In an effort to prevent as many as two million deaths each year, the inaugural International Congress on Pathogens at the Human-Animal Interface (ICOPHAI) was held September 15-17, 2011, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The event was organized by Congress Chair Dr. Wondwossen Gebreyes, director of Global Health Programs in Ohio State’s College of Veterinary Medicine, in partnership with institutes from the Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Eastern Africa, and the United States. The congress attracted more than 350 registrants from 34 countries and featured renowned keynote and plenary speakers from Ohio State, NIH, the International Vaccine Institute, and others. Ohio State speakers included Dr. Lonnie King, dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine; Dr. Linda Saif, Distinguished University Professor, Veterinary Preventive Medicine and OARDC; Dr. Larry Schlesinger, Samuel Saslaw Professor of Medicine; and William Brustein, vice provost for Global Strategies and International Affairs. For more information on the congress, workshops, and social events of the congress, please visit icophai2011.org.

Highlights of the report: • About half of the 3,500 veterinarians in Ohio operate small animal private practices in the state • Several hundred others provide care to farm animals, including horses • These 1,100 businesses employ more than 12,000 people and add nearly $2 billion to Ohio’s economy • Related businesses add an additional 59,000 employees and about $3 billion to Ohio’s economy • 85 percent of all veterinarians in the state are Ohio State alumni • Veterinarians are critical to the state’s $107 billion agricultural industry 6

Regulatory sciences workshop Several members of the Department of Veterinary Preventive Medicine traveled to Washington, D.C. to conduct a workshop on regulatory sciences. Twenty-two federal employees participated at the Ohio State Washington, D.C. office on Capitol Hill. The topic this year was animal welfare, which included a case study on the Ohio Livestock Care Standards Board. “The attendees were glad to hear from people on the front line. This helps them make better decisions about the issues,” said Dr. Bill Saville, chair for the Department of Veterinary Preventive Medicine. Ohio State also welcomed partners from the University of Minnesota: Dr. Will Hueston, Global Initiative for Food Systems Leadership, and College of Veterinary Medicine Dean Trevor Ames.

The department is planning to expand these types of workshops to a possible certificate program or professional master’s degree for state and federal employees in animal and public health, as they make complex decisions at the interface of science and public policy.

COLLEGE INITIATIVES

2011 Distinguished Alumni Award winners Distinguished Alumni Awards were presented to Drs. Cockerell, Meuten, and Turner at the Oath and Hooding ceremony on June 11, 2011. The awards honor prestigious graduates of Ohio State for their professional achievements, contributions to society, and support of the university.

Dr. Gary Cockerell Dr. Gary Cockerell received his DVM from the University of California-Davis in 1970. After serving as a veterinary laboratory animal officer at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Disease, he came to Ohio State and in 1976 completed a PhD in experimental pathology in the Department of Veterinary Pathobiology (now Veterinary Biosciences).

Dr. Cockerell served for 22 years in academic departments of veterinary pathology, first at Cornell University and then at Colorado State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. He has authored or co-authored more than 70 peer reviewed scientific publications and book chapters. Dr. Cockerell is currently founder and president of Cockerell Alliances in Grand Junction, Colorado. His company forges alliances between academia and the biopharmaceutical industry to train veterinary pathologists.

Perhaps most significant is Dr. Cockerell’s role in founding the coalition between the American College of Veterinary Pathologists, the Society of Toxicological Pathology (ACVP/STP), and the pharmaceutical industry. The organization channels industry funding to support residency training and graduate education in academia, with no obligation of the fellow to the donor.

Dr. Donald Meuten After receiving his DVM from Cornell University in 1974, Dr. Donald Meuten spent a year in private practice. In 1975, he completed a large animal medicine internship at the University of Guelph and in 1977 completed an internship in the Department of Pathology at Cornell. Dr. Meuten then began a residency in clinical pathology in the Department of Veterinary Pathology (now Veterinary Biosciences) at Ohio State, which led to a PhD in 1981.

Dr. Meuten began his formal career in academia that year as an assistant professor in the Department of Pathology at Texas A&M University. He moved to North Carolina State University in 1983 where he continues to teach and mentor graduate students. Dr. Meuten is an exceptional teacher and has earned

four Outstanding Teaching Awards. He is also an owner of Bunn Animal Hospital with his wife, Dr. Nicki Young.

Dr. Meuten has an extensive publication record in peer reviewed journals and textbooks, and is the editor of Tumors of Domestic Animals, which can be found on the bookshelves of virtually all pathology trainees and pathologists. He is one of the few individuals to hold dual board certification in both anatomic and clinical pathology.

Dr. A. Simon Turner Dr. A. Simon Turner received his BVSc degree from the University of Melbourne in 1972. After a year in general practice in Australia, Dr. Turner came to Ohio State to pursue a residency in equine surgery and complete a master’s degree.

He held a faculty appointment at Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon and then took an appointment at Colorado State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, where he has remained ever since. During his time at CSU, Dr. Turner has been awarded three Excellence in Teaching awards. In 2001 he was inducted into the Glover Gallery for distinguished alumni and faculty at CSU. Dr. Turner is recognized nationally and internationally as the foremost expert on the use of sheep as surgical models in orthopedics. A prolific writer, Dr. Turner has published over 350 scientific abstracts and papers in peer reviewed journals, has written nine books, and contributed ten book chapters. In 2009 he was awarded the Lifetime Excellence in Research Award by the American Veterinary Medical Association.

Distinguished Staff Awards Each year, the Dean’s Office recognizes the outstanding efforts of all staff through a college-wide picnic on the lawn. Staff and faculty at the college are also encouraged to nominate staff members with at least five years of service for the Annual Distinguished Staff Awards.

Congratulations to the 2011 Distinguished Staff: Chris Frasure, Lorie Kipp, and Ken Matthias.

Restored Ugolin painting has new home The 100 year old Ugolin horse painting, famously displayed in the rotunda of the old Veterinary Clinic building on Neil Avenue for nearly half a century, has been restored. Its new home over the fireplace in the Hummel Grand Lounge in the Veterinary Medicine Academic Building will allow more people to enjoy the wellknown painting.

The fall 1956 issue of The Speculum offers a more complete history of the Ugolin painting (p. 33). You can view the archive at cvm.osu.edu/alumni.

Chris Frasure Chris Frasure is an instructional laboratory supervisor and laboratory instructor at the College of Veterinary Medicine and has worked with the Department of Veterinary Biosciences for 13 years. His primary responsibilities are to maintain the anatomy lab, prepare specimens, and assist in anatomic instruction. One nominator noted that Chris “is engaged in our academic mission, and takes the initiative to contribute wherever possible, not constrained by the limitations of a job description.” In addition, Chris’ students consistently give him superb evaluations. “He makes himself available to provide extra help to students outside of the scheduled lab periods and mentors the pre-veterinary student assistants,” said another nominator.

Melorie “Lorie” Kipp Lorie Kipp is a receptionist in the Hospital for Farm Animals and has been with the Veterinary Medical Center for more than 20 years. She schedules appointments, refers calls, and ensures that the Farm Animal office runs smoothly. All her nominators agreed that she is diplomatic with clients and that her basic knowledge of many common disease processes and conditions increases her ability to serve VMC clients. One nominator said, “Lorie is instrumental in boosting the morale within the food animal section. She knows the hospital and many of its clients better than almost anyone and goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels welcome.”

Ken Matthias An employee at the college for more than 10 years, Ken Matthias is the instructional development specialist in the Department of Biomedical Media and Instructional Technology. His primary responsibility is to provide support and assistance to faculty, staff, and students regarding the use of instructional technologies, including didactic education, Carmen, and CarmenWiki. His nominators unanimously agreed that Ken always goes above and beyond by taking on projects outside his job description and never turning anyone away, no matter how big or small the task. He always performs tasks quickly, “with an attention to detail, and just enough humor to make it all seem easy and a bit fun.”

COLLEGE INITIATIVES

Commercialization Research may lead to new products Dr. Jean Schelhorn, director of Commercialization for the College of Veterinary Medicine, works with faculty and staff to develop their research projects into translatable intellectual assets and intellectual property that may improve the lives of animals and people. Following are examples of several projects currently in development: Diagnostic screen for cattle may prevent feedlot loss Dr. Jeff Lakritz, Vernon Tharp Professor of Large Animal Medicine in the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, has developed a diagnostic test for early detection of sepsis. This test identifies cattle diagnosed with early inflammatory disease such as pneumonia by detecting early changes in their blood associated with inflammation and bacterial infection. The human application is blood-borne sepsis. Early and accurate detection will improve human and animal health and wellbeing, allow more accurate diagnoses and treatments, and may prevent significant losses from serious illness and chronic respiratory disease. In cattle, early and accurate detection is not practical on individual animals in large feedlots. Visual identification of sick animals is possible; however, substantial tissue damage has already occurred by the time a sick animal can be accurately diagnosed by sight.

Treating the flu before it damages lungs Worldwide, seasonal influenza epidemics cause more than 300,000 human deaths each year, and pandemics like the Spanish Flu of 1918 can kill tens of millions. Dr. Ian Davis, assistant professor in the Department of Veterinary Biosciences, has been studying influenza virus that causes a type of pneumonia.

Lung damage from this pneumonia is the typical cause of death for the majority of the victims in an epidemic. Current antiviral drugs are available but work only at the beginning of the infection; vaccines must be re-formulated each year based on predictions about the coming flu season and may not be protective in the face of a pandemic.

Dr. Davis’ approach targets the effects of viral infection on the lung, rather than the influenza virus itself. His research team has been examining how influenza stimulates nucleotide metabolism in infected lung cells, resulting in lung inflammation in severe influenza. The results of this important work have revealed that using drug therapy to target this pathway may be a novel approach for preventing lung injury from influenza. Dr. Davis presented this work at TedConnect 2011 in Boston.

Dairy herd simulation Dr. Gustavo Schuenemann, assistant professor in the Department of Veterinary Preventive Medicine and dairy extension specialist, was nominated for Ohio State’s Early Career Innovator of the Year award. His focus on the translation of research findings to dairy farm applications has resulted in an innovative, state of the art proprietary model to simulate a dairy herd of virtually any size, from small to corporate-scale operations. Developed in collaboration with three other researchers, the model fills a critical unmet need: understanding the many factors that influence the performance of dairy herds and their profitability.

The model allows individual and herd performance information to be derived and visualized over various time intervals. Information can also be exported for other types of analysis. The simulation model was recently highlighted at the 2011 Joint Annual Meeting of the American Dairy Science Association.

Congratulations to the new deans at Oklahoma State and UC-Davis!

Ohio State’s College of Veterinary Medicine has helped to advance the careers of two new deans, both of whom were associate deans at the college before they accepted their current positions. Dr. Jean Sander, formerly associate dean for Student Affairs, is now the dean at the School of Veterinary Medicine at Oklahoma State University. Dr. Michael Lairmore, member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies, former associate dean of Research and Graduate Studies, and former chair of the Department of Veterinary Biosciences, is now the dean at the University of California-Davis.

Dr. Bob Knapp, treasurer of the Ohio State Veterinary Medicine Alumni Society, calls Ohio State the “cradle of deans.” Alumni who have recently served or are still serving as deans include Dr. Kent Hoblet (Mississippi), Dr. Glen Hoffsis (Florida), and Dr. Larry Heider (Guelph).

ACADEMIC DEPARTMENTS

Veterinary Biosciences New department chair for Veterinary Biosciences In December 2011, Dr. Michael Oglesbee, professor in the Department of Veterinary Biosciences, was chosen by the selection committee as chair of the department.

After two years as interim chair, Dr. Oglesbee clearly understands the duality of the role as both manager and leader. He also spent eight years as chair of the Graduate Studies Committee in the department and one year as chair of the College Council for Graduate Education.

“We have a lot of talent in the department and the college… and my job is to help them establish the balance of activities that allow them to be optimally productive,” said Dr. Oglesbee. “It is an incredibly exciting time for the college.”

The Department of Veterinary Biosciences has an internationally renowned training program in veterinary pathology, is home to the Center for Retrovirus Research, and is primarily engaged in comparative biomedical research.

Dr. Michael Oglesbee Chair Department of Veterinary Biosciences

“Our mission to advance medical knowledge through research is something that we as a college embrace, which connects us to the larger health sciences center,” Dr. Oglesbee said. “The Ohio State University has one of the largest health services centers in the country. It is a tremendous source of collaboration, whether for graduate education or research. And potential contributions to our professional degree program have not even been tapped.”

Dr. Oglesbee hopes to establish a new research paradigm — moving away from disconnected teams or individually focused research efforts to more collaborative research groups that build on the college’s strengths. He hopes this synergy will create programs that benefit veterinary medicine, as well as physicians and human patients.

“That is a niche we are most qualified to exploit,” Dr. Oglesbee concluded.

Dr. Thomas Rosol appointed as liaison to the American Registry of Pathology Dr. Tom Rosol, professor of veterinary biosciences, was appointed for a three year term to the American Registry of Pathology (ARP) by the American Veterinary Medical Association. The ARP builds collections of rare and unusual specimens from throughout the country for research and educational purposes. Founded in 1921, the ARP is a leading institution that conducts educational courses and second-opinion diagnostic pathology services without fee. ARP acts as the sponsoring body for private and public contracts and grants.

Veterinary Preventive Medicine Field of Dreams outreach program A generous donation by Mr. Duncan Alexander, a long time supporter of programs at the College of Veterinary Medicine, provided funding for a groundbreaking Alzheimer’s study at the Field of Dreams Equine Education Center. The study, “The effect of Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) with horses on the psychological and behavioral symptoms of persons with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias,” was a collaborative effort between the College of Veterinary Medicine and the College of Social Work. The research team was led by Dr. Gwendolen (Wendy) Lorch, assistant professor of veterinary clinical sciences, and Dr. Holly DabelkoSchoeny, associate professor at the College of Social Work.

Graduate students involved in the study were College of Veterinary Medicine students Marie Jarden and Denise Johnson, and College of Social Work students Sarah DeAnna and Emily Darrough.

“There is significant anecdotal evidence suggesting that dementia patients benefit from interacting with horses,” said Alexander.

“The only way to prove this is through research, and I was excited to be involved with such a groundbreaking study.”

The project involved bringing patients with early stages of Alzheimer’s and other related dementias from Heritage Day Health Centers in Columbus to the Field of Dreams Equine Education Center in Blacklick. At each visit, the patients rotated through three stations: grooming and brushing; haltering, leading, and handling the horses; and a final station where the patients used fingerpaint to paint the horses.

The stations were designed to increase sensory stimulation, as evidence has suggested that dementia patients are more likely to remember how they felt during an event, rather than the event itself. While people with Alzheimer’s may not know exactly what

is happening around them, like horses they respond to the body language of people around them.

“When I visited the farm and saw how the patients interacted with the horses, I was amazed at how happy and invigorated they were,” Alexander said. “These are people that struggle to remember and comprehend their day to day events, but they all remember the wonderful times they have spent with the horses.”

Although the data from the study is still being analyzed, everyone involved noticed substantial differences in the patients interacting with the horses.

“I’m excited to see the results,” said Alexander. “No matter what, this study is bound to lead to other related studies, and this has been an amazing experience for everyone involved.”

Congratulations to recent Veterinary Public Health graduates The Veterinary Public Health specialization in Ohio State’s Master of Public Health program is a partnership between the College of Veterinary Medicine and the College of Public Health, and is one of only two certified VPH programs in the country. In this unique degree program, students learn the animal and human sides of disease in order to more effectively understand zoonotic diseases. Sixty-one students have now graduated with the MPH degree specializing in Veterinary Public Health (VPH).

Each student completes a culminating project in one of several areas including laboratory research, applied field research, service, and grants. The most recent graduates, their advisor, and project are listed below.

Students who started in 2008: Samantha Deafenbaugh Advisor: Dr. Paivi Rajala-Schultz “Animal disaster response plan for Madison County, Ohio” (service) Kelly Scheuer Advisor: Dr. Linda Saif “Prevalence of noroviruses in U.S. finisher swine” (research) Students who started in 2009: Jade Braman Advisor: Dr. Armando Hoet “Prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) on human and equine contact surfaces in a large veterinary teaching hospital” (research) Johana Cenera Advisor: Dr. Fred DeGraves “Program evaluation and revision of the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory’s 2008 laboratory emergency management plan” (service) Meaghan Glowacki Advisor: Dr. Armando Hoet “Ixodes scapularis and lyme disease in Tiverton Township, Coshocton County, Ohio” (research) Greg Laughlin Advisor: Dr. Gustavo Schuenemann “Prevention of zoonotic diseases on dairy farms: Assessing a comprehensive educational program for dairy personnel” (applied field research project) Gabriella Vari Advisor: Dr. Rebecca Garabed “Microbial spread modeling among dairy cattle: An agent-based approach” (grant)

Environmental study assists MRSA control Dr. Armando Hoet and a team of “microbe detectives” have provided new data to support methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) control programs in veterinary settings. Dr. Hoet’s team determined the prevalence of MRSA on specific human and animal contact surfaces during a non-outbreak period. Samples were collected from various clinical settings, and MRSA was detected in 12 percent of the hospital environments sampled.

No significant difference was observed between animal and human contact surfaces in regard to prevalence and type of isolates. Similar to other environmental settings, surfaces touched by multiple people and patients were contaminated with MRSA. The results from this study identified specific surfaces in a veterinary environment that need to be targeted when designing and executing infection control programs.

Dairy veterinarians complete the Ohio Dairy Health and Management Certificate Program (ODHMCP) From data management to foot and mouth disease, the dairy veterinarians who recently completed the ODHMCP learned a variety of skills in dairy production medicine and decision making. The second cohort of veterinarians in the ODHMCP (2009-2011) comprised 16 veterinary practitioners servicing approximately 186,150 dairy cows in 469 herds from 11 veterinary practices located in Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, New York, and New Mexico.

Dr. Silveira and team receive USDA Cochran Fellowship Award Drs. Fernando Silveira, Luke Heider, Wondwossen Gebreyes, and Bayleyegn Molla in the Department of Veterinary Preventive Medicine were awarded a training grant from the USDA sponsored Cochran Fellowship Award.

The main objective of their training program is to raise the professional skills and knowledge of veterinary fellows from Armenia and Georgia, expose them to advanced veterinary practices, and help them improve animal health systems in their home countries. The program will focus on introducing the fellows to U.S. private veterinary business operations, veterinary business organizations, producers, government organizations, and veterinary associations.

The Cochran Fellowship Program (CFP) provides U.S. based agricultural training opportunities for senior and mid-level specialists and administrators from public and private sectors that are concerned with agricultural trade, agribusiness development, management, policy, and marketing.

“The program provides a framework to develop cutting edge applied skills in dairy production medicine and decision making through in-class lectures, homework assignments, group discussion, and hands-on demonstrations,” says Dr. Gustavo Schuenemann, assistant professor of veterinary preventive medicine and coordinator for the program. “Participants develop quantitative and personal skills that can be used to promote and expand their production medicine services in dairy farms of any size, including those under organic and grazing conditions.”

The program consisted of 11 two- to three-day modules that emphasized quantitative and personal skills to promote and expand production medicine services. Speakers included experts from the College of Veterinary Medicine and the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences, as well as experts from industry, private practice, and other universities.

An international trip to Argentina gave participants the opportunity to explore the concepts of dairy production medicine in another region of the world and to diversify their skills and experiences. (See photo below.)

The Ohio Dairy Health Management Certificate Program was developed in December of 2004. The first cohort of dairy veterinarians completed the program in 2007. In 2008, Dr. Gustavo Schuenemann modified and expanded the existing program to become the Ohio Dairy Health and Management Certificate Program (ODHMCP).

The ODHMCP accepts practicing veterinarians (including veterinary residents and graduate students) as individuals or as a practice. Participants can also choose to attend specific modules. For more information, visit vet.osu.edu/odhmcp.

FOOD ANIMAL HEALTH RESEARCH PROGRAM

Food Animal Health Research Program (FAHRP) at Wooster BSL-3 facility is dedicated The Biological Safety Level 3 (BSL-3) facility at the Wooster campus was dedicated on September 16, 2011.

The $22.2 million facility will enable scientists at The Ohio State University to study infectious agents classified by federal standards as BSL-3.

The facility has four BSL-3 Ag isolation rooms that can house animals of various sizes, including mature cattle. In addition, there are two BSL-3 laboratories and a necropsy area. The new building is one of only a few in the U.S. that can accommodate research on both large and small food animals. It will enable veterinary researchers to study animal pathogens in a highly contained environment and is expected to significantly boost animal health research.

Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation subaward Dr. Linda Saif received a subaward for a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation entitled, “Discovering and validating candidate pre- and probiotics through studies of the co-evolution of breast milk, the gut microbiome, and the immune system in healthy and malnourished children.” Co-PIs for the subaward include Drs. Anastasia Vlasova and Gireesh Rajashekara from the Food Animal Health Research Program. This is part of a multicenter award to Dr. Jeffrey Gordon of Washington University in St. Louis, totaling $8 million.

Food safety grants awarded to Dr. Jeffrey LeJeune and team Dr. Jeffrey LeJeune and his colleagues have been awarded two food safety grants totaling $2.3 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The first is a $1.8 million four year grant on “Reducing the transmission of AMR (antimicrobial-resistant) organisms by wildlife within the food supply: A research, control, and outreach strategy.” The goal is to determine the extent to which wildlife contribute to antimicrobial resistant bacteria colonization in livestock, and how much that can spread 18

to humans. The problem is significant: overall, the economic healthcare burden caused by AMR bacteria is more than $4 billion annually, according to some estimates.

The other grant is a three year, $500,000 award from a $5.4 million University of Maryland study on “Developing scientifically based consensus food safety metrics for leafy greens and tomatoes.” Funding is from the USDA’s Specialty Crop Research Initiative. Dr. LeJeune said the two grants are complementary, as one aim of this proposal explores the impact of wildlife intrusion into vegetable fields.

He also received a $149,448 grant, “Delivering vegetable safety education through established social networks in Latin America,” from the Horticulture Collaborative Research Support Program (Hort CRSP).

Dr. Mo Saif was the recipient of the 2011 ACVM Distinguished Veterinary Microbiologist Award presented by the American College of Veterinary Microbiologists in December 2011. Here he receives his award from Drs. Chris Hayhow and Scott McVey.

VETERINARY CLINICAL SCIENCES

Veterinary Clinical Sciences Alpaca cria birth signifies successful embryo transfer Alpaca reproduction is a complicated business. Unlike other farm animal species, the use of artificial insemination and other assisted reproductive techniques poses a great challenge for veterinarians working with these animals. And the gestation period is a lengthy 11 months. How then, can a breeder reproduce multiple crias from the most valuable animals in a relatively short period? Through embryo transfer, a technique now being perfected by the reproduction specialists at The Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center.

Drs. Marco da Silva and Carlos Pinto, both faculty in the Theriogenology and Reproductive Medicine Service, have been working for the past two years to validate several reproductive procedures for camelids. The Reproductive Medicine Service also includes resident Dr. Elizabeth “Betsy” Coffman, who received her DVM from the University of Tennessee, and embryologist Chelsey Messerschmidt, research assistant and clinical technical support. In addition, Dr. Jeff Lakritz, Vernon Tharp Professor of Farm Animal Medicine and service head in the Veterinary Medical Center, is known by the alpaca industry for his expertise in camelid medicine.

While embryo transfer procedures have been developed for alpacas elsewhere, Drs. da Silva’s and Pinto’s creative approach was designed to validate a non-surgical procedure that does not require manipulation of the reproductive tract per rectum.

“We are really pleased with the success of this embryo transfer,” said Dr. da Silva.

An embryo transfer is the process of harvesting fertilized eggs from a high-value female camelid and transferring the embryo into a reproductively sound and less valuable surrogate female for gestation, birth, and care. Typically, the embryos can be collected in a non-surgical process during which the female is only lightly sedated, about a week after breeding. This allows the high-value camelids to be bred again in a few weeks, which can have an impact on the genetic improvement of an entire herd.

Morris Animal Foundation awards to Drs. Bill Kisseberth and Cheryl London Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) are a new class of antitumor drugs being developed for cancer treatment that have been found to inhibit growth of several types of tumors in humans and mice. Drs. Bill Kisseberth and Cheryl London will investigate an Ohio State derived drug called AR42, developed for human cancer patients at the Ohio State James Cancer Hospital.

This novel HDACI has significant antitumor activity in vitro against a variety of canine tumor cell lines and in ex vivo treated primary malignant canine mast cells. The study will determine the dose of the drug that is safe and well-tolerated in a clinical trial. The results of this work will provide support for further development of AR-42 for dogs with cancer.

See more Morris Foundation awards on page 25.

“We received the results of a DNA test this week that proved the birth was the result of our first successful transfer,” said Dr. da Silva. “We look forward to repeating this success in the near future with a client-owned camelid. I would also like to publicly thank Dr. Jeff Lakritz for his support of this project.”

Dr. Dennis Chew plans pursuits after retirement Dr. Dennis Chew admitted that it was a “weird feeling” to ponder his retirement from the Ohio State Veterinary Medical Center, but he is looking forward to the opportunities for personal exploration that his newfound free time will provide.

“This is the only thing I’ve done in my adult life,” said Chew, who retired in June 2011 after 36 years at the VMC. “It is always frightening to change your pattern of behavior.”

Chew said easing his transition is the feeling that he is “the only one of his kind,” a dinosaur among the evolution of a new veterinary culture.

“It’s very exciting to see new people coming in,” said Dr. Chew. “And I need to step aside and let them run. People let me do that when I came in, and I’m happy to do that for them.”

Dr. Chew is leaving big shoes to fill. He hopes that his expertise in kidney disorders and calcium metabolism enables him to stay connected to both the profession and university he loves.

“I don’t plan to completely go away,” said Chew, who will still operate the information email, calcium@osu.edu. “I’d like to do advanced classes for the residents and I plan to do quite a bit of speaking both nationally and internationally, and resident training if they still need me. I also envision the possibility of an expert’s clinic in kidney and calcium problems.”

Dr. Chew has plenty of non-veterinary pursuits lined up as well. He plans to travel, garden, bicycle, and continue to explore his recent fascination with yoga. His spirituality also compels him to be more active with his church and volunteering.

“I have so many things planned, I’m afraid I’m over-committing,” he said with a laugh.

Dr. Bob Sherding retires after 35 years After spending nearly every day of his veterinary career at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Robert Sherding hung up his stethoscope in April of 2011.

“I’m excited about this new phase of my life, in terms of more flexibility and time to spend with my family,” he said.

Dr. Sherding, who earned his DVM from Ohio State in 1973, joined the faculty in 1976 after completing his internal medicine residency. “That means that any veterinary graduate in the past 35 years has had contact with me,” he said.

Dr. Sherding focused on internal medicine, with an interest in gastroenterology and respiratory diseases, especially in cats.

“I was interested in cats not so much for a love of cats, but really because they had interesting diseases that not much were known about,” he said. “My first job out of vet school was at Angel Memorial in Boston. They had strong activities in feline health with a large caseload of sick cats.

That turned me on to the exciting world of cats.”

That interest led him to write two landmark textbooks, The Cat and Saunders Manual of Small Animal Practice, which he co-edited with Dr. Steve Birchard. He also received numerous teaching awards and served as chair in the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences from 1993 to 2006, during which time the department received the University’s Departmental Teaching Award.

Dr. Sherding plans to help out in the Perimeter Veterinary Hospital of Dublin, owned and operated by his wife, Dr. Sherrie Ridenour. He also plans to travel and continue his passion for Bonsai trees.

“I have enjoyed spending my entire career here, working with my colleagues, faculty, and referring veterinarians, and teaching the students,” he said. “Each year has been more rewarding than the year before.”

Karin A. Zuckerman became the new director of the Veterinary Medical Center in April 2011. Karin came to the Veterinary Medical Center with an extensive background and experience working in academic healthcare centers and related nonprofit organizations. She is the first woman to direct the Veterinary Medical Center.

Karin obtained a BA in psychology from DePauw University in 1984 and a Master of Health Services Administration (MHSA) and MBA from the University of Michigan in 1989. She began her healthcare administration career working for The Ohio State University Hospitals and Children’s Hospital as an administrative fellow from 1989 to 1991. She then worked for Children’s Hospital from 1991 through 1997 in several positions including director of Patient Unit Management, interim administrator of the Research Foundation, and director of Emergency Services. In 1997, Karin became the chief executive officer of Easter Seals Central and Southeast Ohio, Inc., and held that position for 13 years before joining the Veterinary Medical Center.

Business analysis will lead to new priorities The College of Veterinary Medicine engaged Karen E. Felsted, CPA, MS, DVM, CVPM, in a review of specialty service fees in the Veterinary Medical Center. She provided a report that offers important recommendations as well as opportunities for future improvements.

VETERINARY MEDICAL CENTER

Dr. Felsted noted that veterinary pricing is a complex issue. The price that pet owners are willing to pay for a service is intricately tied to the owners’ perception of value as well as their ability to pay. There is a limit to how much additional revenue can be generated from fee increases alone. Over the past ten years, veterinarians have used fee increases to drive revenue and profits, and evidence shows that this may have caused a decrease in visits.

At the same time, Felsted said, teaching institutions must focus on revenue enhancement in order to invest in the people, facilities, and equipment necessary to provide good care; engage in clinical research and discovery; fulfill their teaching mission; and advance and sustain their programs. They need to focus on increasing profits by seeing more cases, which can be accomplished through better marketing and communication of value, better client service, and improved efficiencies in seeing cases and using members of their healthcare team. At the VMC, additional revenue can also be generated by improved consistency in the fees charged, better capture of discounts and missed charges, and reductions in discounted services.

Price and value go hand and hand, Felsted said, so when comparing prices, it is also important to know what is considered valuable to clients and potential clients.

Improving value will be as important in the future as monitoring and adjusting prices. Her recommended changes at Ohio State also included: improved estimate quality, clearer service descriptions on invoices, capturing of all charges before the client pays the “final” bill, and creating an improved phone call experience, with fewer menus and transfers, as well as shorter time to get an answer.

Family and friends of Kristine McComis have created a special spot to honor her memory.

A valued 17 year employee of the Veterinary Medical Center, Kristine passed away in 2010.

She enjoyed reading outdoors during her lunch break, and this bench will provide opportunities for her former colleagues to enjoy a moment outdoors as well. The stone next to the bench includes a plaque with a poem written for her by Dr. Rustin Moore.

Memorial tribute: Dr. Grant Frazer Dr. Grant S. Frazer passed away in July 2011. A member of the college family since 1991, he had most recently served as director of the Veterinary Medical Center from 2006 through 2009. Dr. Frazer had returned home to Australia and the University of Queensland in October 2009 to take on a new role as director of Clinical and Diagnostic Services.

Dr. Frazer obtained his veterinary degree (BVSc) in 1980 from the University of Queensland. He completed a residency and master’s degree in theriogenology at Ohio State in 1987 and obtained board certification from the American College of Theriogenologists. After working in private practice, he returned to Ohio State as an assistant professor in theriogenology in 1991. He won the prestigious Norden Distinguished Teacher Award in 1994. After completing an MBA in 2003, he began a change in career direction toward business management and consequently became the director of the Veterinary Medical Center.

To honor Dr. Frazer’s life and work, his family has established the Grant S. Frazer Memorial Scholarship Fund at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine. If you have questions about making a contribution or wish to make a gift, please contact Jenny Bergman at jennifer. bergman@cvm.osu.edu or (614) 688-8433.

Pelotonia Idea Grant aids collaborative research regarding adult T-cell leukemia Dr. Patrick Green, professor and associate dean for Research and Graduate Studies, in collaboration with Dr. Robert Baiocchi, assistant professor of internal medicine, earned a Pelotonia Idea Grant this year for their research project related to a rare cancer of the immune system’s own T-cells.

Pelotonia Idea Grants, funded by the money raised during the annual grassroots cycling tour, give researchers with big, breakthrough ideas the seed funding they need to uncover the critical preliminary data used to garner larger government grants.

The project, entitled “Role of PRMT5 enzyme over expression in HTLV-1driven cellular transformation and leukemia,” seeks to understand how human T lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) dysregulates the cellular protein PRMT5 that is upregulated in HTLV-1 tumors as well as in other cancers. The project also seeks to test a new class of drug that targets PRMT5 (a major pro-survival factor) in a preclinical mouse model of human adult T-cell leukemia (ATL).

HTLV-1 is the causative agent of an aggressive ATL that is non-responsive to current therapies. Mortality in these cases is approximately eight months from diagnosis. The overall goal of Dr. Green and Baiocchi’s work is to develop a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of ATL.

RESEARCH IN THE NEWS

Research in the News Cancer research in dogs helps humans, too Man’s best friend is helping us to better understand cancer in humans.

Comparative oncology explores the biology and therapy of naturally occurring cancer in animals. Scientists are now finding that certain types of cancer in dogs are remarkably similar to those in humans, both in how they develop and how they behave in response to treatment.

Both humans and pets benefit from clinical trials in the veterinary setting. The dogs and their owners have access to advanced, state of the art care at little to no cost, and scientists gain critical information regarding the disease process and response to therapy that can be used to advance the treatment of human disease, said Dr. Cheryl London, a member of the Molecular Biology and Cancer Genetics program in The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute, and associate professor in the Departments of Clinical Sciences and Biosciences.

“The goal of what we do in dogs with cancer is to evaluate potential new therapies so that we can help to understand how the drugs may work on cancer in humans,” said Dr. London.

For example, Dr. London led the initial research effort evaluating a new small molecule inhibitor called toceranib in dogs with tumors.

The results from this clinical trial supported the subsequent development of a similar drug, sunitinib, in humans with cancer.

In 2009, toceranib (marketed as Palladia) became the first drug approved by the FDA specifically to treat cancer in dogs.

Of the 71 million households in the United States, 62 percent own at least one pet, and many companion animals, particularly dogs, develop many of the same diseases seen in humans, including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis, according to London.

Of the 77.5 million dogs in the United States, more than one million will develop cancer each year. Canine cancer therapies are similar to those used to treat humans as well, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and now small molecule inhibitor drugs.

Data generated from clinical trials in companion animals can provide important new information to help guide subsequent and/

or ongoing human clinical studies. The integration of efforts in veterinary and human medicine will likely enhance translational outcomes for both species, said London.

“For a clinical trial in children, it can take five years to accrue enough patients, and then another five years for outcomes. So, you have ten years before you know something new, which is why the field moves so slowly,” said Dr. London. “In veterinary oncology, we can complete a study in dogs with bone cancer within one year and have outcomes within two to three years.”

Ohio State is one of 20 academic comparative oncology centers involved in the Comparative Oncology Trials Consortium (COTC) and centrally managed by the National Institutes of Health – National Cancer Institute’s Center for Cancer Research Comparative Oncology Program.

The COTC functions to design and execute clinical trials in dogs with cancer to assess novel therapies. The goal is to answer biological questions geared to inform the development path of these agents for future use in human cancer patients.

Funding from the National Institutes of Health and Ohio State’s Center for Clinical and Translational Science helps support clinical trial efforts at the College of Veterinary Medicine and has also assisted in the generation of a large biorepository of animal tumors and normal tissues. The availability of such tissues for research has markedly enhanced the ability of researchers at Ohio State and Nationwide Children’s Hospital to perform much needed genetic and molecular studies that are critical to advancing the understanding of cancer biology in both dogs and humans.

Healthy cats may seem sick when routines are disrupted According to a study published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, healthy cats are just as likely as chronically ill cats to exhibit “sickness behaviors” such as refusing food, vomiting, and leaving waste in inappropriate places when their routines are disrupted. The research was conducted

by Judi Stella, PhD candidate, as part of a long term study on environmental enrichment. The paper’s other co-authors include Dr. Tony Buffington, professor of veterinary clinical sciences, and Dr. Linda Lord, assistant professor of veterinary preventive medicine. researchnews.osu.edu/archive/sickbehavior.htm

Research may lead to better vaccines for children New research that reveals how maternal antibodies block an immune response to the measles virus is a first step toward improving current childhood vaccination practices. Ohio State University researchers demonstrated in an animal model that maternal antibodies bind to a specific receptor that sends a message to stop activation of an immune response to vaccination.

The scientists also determined that signals to the immune response can be manipulated and are already devising ways that vaccines could be designed to circumvent this natural process.

“In effect, we have found how maternal antibodies affect the off-switch in the immune response, and we have found a potential on-switch,” said Stefan Niewiesk, associate professor of veterinary biosciences and senior author of the study. researchnews.osu.edu/archive/matantibody.htm

College of Veterinary Medicine study advances lung cancer research A new study led by Dr. Gwendolen Lorch, assistant professor of veterinary clinical sciences, revealed a vital factor that can lead to complications in patients with certain forms of lethal lung cancer.

It was originally thought that the protein, known as a calciumsensing receptor, did not exist in human lung tissue. However, Dr. Lorch’s research has revealed that the receptor is in fact found in normal and cancerous lung tissue. Her research was published in the journal Neoplasia. researchnews.osu.edu/archive/hypercalc.htm 30

STUDENT AFFAIRS

Student Affairs Office of Student Affairs makes improvements in 2011 When prospective veterinary students ask, “Why should I choose Ohio State?” the Office of Student Affairs replies with the array of support services it offers to students throughout their academic career and beyond. This is why Student Affairs chose “Why Ohio State?” for its admissions theme in 2011.

Though Student Affairs staff handle student related issues throughout the academic year, the admissions process is a large part of what they do, starting with the recruitment efforts of April Pugh and her team. Thanks to the leadership of April and Sandra Dawkins, both assistant directors in the Office of Student Affairs, there were significant improvements to the admissions process during 2011.

For the initial applicants to the college for the Class of 2016, the office offered something new: admissions dinners for applicants and their families. “We want to have their questions answered by faculty or students in a more comfortable environment,” said Associate Dean Dr. Linda Lord. Additionally, the office facilitated eight days of interviews for 383 applicants. On those interview days, prospective students could attend educational sessions on topics such as financial aid, take tours of the Veterinary Medical Center or other facilities, and listen to student/faculty panels. Of the 383, 162 students were admitted to the Class of 2016.

“The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine is ranked number five in the country,” Dr. Lord said. “It’s a top tier school that students want to attend. We are very proud of that fact and do all we can to recruit the best and brightest.”

Last year the Office of Student Affairs also established a new student ambassador club for the incoming Class of 2015. The 12 students work for the office in a variety of positions, including tour guides, and generally serve as advocates for the college.

The work of the Office of Student Affairs doesn’t stop with recruitment and admissions; the office is also responsible for awarding financial aid and scholarships, providing counseling services under the direction of Dr. Jennifer Brandt and in conjunction with the Office of Disability Services, facilitating a peer tutoring program, and overseeing special events.

Offering the right resources to meet the ever-changing needs of students continues to be a challenge. To address that challenge, the office plans to start a student career services center to help with career development and job search strategies, while also focusing on health and wellness.

“It’s a stressful experience to go through four years of veterinary school,” Dr. Lord said. “We want to provide resources and tools to ensure that students are doing well academically, and that they are physically, emotionally, and mentally healthy as well.”

CVM Student Ambassadors are: front row (l to r) – Emilee Luckring (Class of 2015), Amanda Sherman (Class of 2013), Valerie Nesser (Class of 2014), Erin Rhodes (Class of 2015), Johana Cenera (Class of 2015), back row (l to r) – Stephen Horvath (Class of 2014), Erin Brown (Class of 2015), Kathryn Huter (Class of 2015), Ghanasyam Bey (Class of 2015), Allyson Kranstuber (Class of 2015), Jilma Rojas (Class of 2014).

STUDENT AFFAIRS

Curriculum and Administration Ohio State’s move from quarters to semesters isn’t the only change in student curriculum and academic administration. The conversion to semesters has been an opportunity for the college to review all courses and make the necessary adjustments needed to gain approval of all courses from the university’s Office of Academic Affairs.

The oversight of educational design is now under the supervision of Associate Dean Dr. Steve DiBartola, whose team includes Trudy Busby, Lori Noce, and Teresa LeMaster.

This team continues to play a significant role in implementing the transition plan.

New associate dean for Student Affairs Dr. Linda Lord, associate professor in the Department of Veterinary Preventive Medicine, became associate dean for Student Affairs in July.

“The position of associate dean for Student Affairs is a vital leadership position in the College of Veterinary Medicine,” said Dr. Lonnie King, dean and Ruth Stanton Chair in Veterinary Medicine. “Dr. Lord brings important skills, creativity, and enthusiasm; we are fortunate to have such outstanding talent.”

“I believe the purpose of the college is not only to educate our students, but also to lead and guide them into their careers,” said Dr. Lord. “I enjoy teaching and interacting with students and am enjoying my new role in the college.”

Dr. Lord received her DVM, MS, and PhD degrees from The Ohio State University. She practiced small animal medicine for five years before coming to Ohio State in 2006 as an assistant professor. She served as the service head for Community Practice, Outreach, and Shelter Medicine for Veterinary Clinical Sciences from 2008-2011, and as the president of the Ohio Veterinary Medical Association in 2011. Dr. Lord recently received the Dean’s Award for Creativity in Teaching (see right).

In considering reviews and accreditation, the college decided to implement substantial changes, including the addition of professional development classes that focus on more non-technical skills such as communications and business management. These courses will be integrated across all four years of the DVM curriculum.

Also being integrated throughout all four years is more experience with live animals, which historically occurred in the last two years. With the new model, first year students will take classes in animal handling and behavior. The second year will provide a “shadowing” experience at the Veterinary Medical Center, which helps students begin to understand how the hospital functions and offers them a glimpse into the case-based learning they will experience during clinical rotations in their fourth year.

Also new in 2011 was the addition of a “career area of emphasis.” According to feedback, students appreciate the opportunity to focus their studies as well as the opportunity for career diversification, including such specialized programs as global health, public health, aquaculture, and pathology.

“Oath and Hooding” honors new veterinarians and award winners In June 2011, the College of Veterinary Medicine welcomed 139 new veterinarians into their chosen field at the annual Oath and Hooding ceremony. Surrounded by friends and family, students received their scarlet and grey academic hood as a symbol of their degree.

In addition to honoring the most recent graduates, the College of Veterinary Medicine also recognized three faculty award winners and three Distinguished Alumni Award winners (see page 5).

Faculty awards: Ronaldo C. da Costa, DVM, PhD, assistant professor of neurology and neurosurgery in the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, received the Pfizer Distinguished Teaching Award, which recognizes the “caliber of instruction and responsiveness to the needs of students.” Nominations are made by students in the professional education program.

Wondwossen A. Gebreyes, DVM, PhD, associate professor in the Department of Veterinary Preventive Medicine, received the Pfizer Animal Health Award for Research Excellence, which recognizes innovative research.

Linda K. Lord, DVM, PhD, associate professor in the Department of Veterinary Preventive Medicine, received the Dean’s Award for Creativity in Teaching, which rewards “risk taking in the implementation of innovative approaches to veterinary medical education.”

What I did last summer Zoonotic parasite research in Cameroon

Introducing aquaculture

By Valerie Nesser, Class of 2014

By Stephen Reichley, Class of 2013

In the summer of 2011 I traveled to Cameroon to do research on zoonotic parasites of humans and domestic animals, through the Summer Research Program. It was an incredible experience that helped me understand and respect a different way of life and experience a different cultural mindset about the interactions between humans and animals. I believe that connecting with people who are different from you is an essential skill for a veterinarian.

I spent part of my 2011 summer break at the Thad Cochran National Warmwater Aquaculture Center in Stoneville, Mississippi, working with Dr. Lester Khoo in the Aquatic Diagnostic Laboratory. The diagnostic lab is quite similar in operation to the familiar small animal clinic. When catfish producers notice a problem in a pond, they catch some of the sick fish, hop in a truck ,and head to the Aquatic Diagnostic Lab. There Dr. Khoo and his team gather a history from the farmer while analyzing water samples, taking gill clips, and collecting samples for bacterial and viral isolation. Once the problem is identified, Dr. Khoo typically advises the farmer on husbandry related changes, writes a prescription for antibiotic feeds, or consults on vaccine protocols. It was amazing to be able to apply the principles I learned in vet school, mostly about dogs and cats, to fish.

During sample collecting at one village, I looked down the path to see where Sam Valerius had gone. He was about 100 yards behind me along with what must have been 50 kids marching down the path behind him. We took many pictures of all the kids there and they would always race toward us to be the first to see themselves on the small camera screen. I swear it never got old to them – they LOVE cameras. We even coordinated on O-H-I-O picture with them (see cover photo). After a while I started to wonder if their fascination comes from the fact that they might not know what they look like.

Sometimes when I was hot, sweaty, and tired, I just wanted to be miserable for a second, but there was always someone watching.

It could be exhausting constantly being watched, stared at, and laughed at. There was no time for a sad face; there were too many children to wave at, too many men and women to greet with a handshake. This must be how movie stars feel in public – remind me never to be famous!

After Mississippi, I was lucky enough to get an externship with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game for the remainder of summer break. I travelled over 9,000 miles, going from hatchery to hatchery collecting tissues for their many different disease surveillance programs for Chinook salmon.

My career goals are distinctly different than when I first entered vet school. Aquaculture currently accounts for over half of the world’s fish supply and is the fastest growing area of agriculture in the world. Everything I have seen in the past two and a half years has continued to increase my desire to learn about fish health and has impressed upon me the growing importance of this inexpensive, high quality protein source.

Coppelman selected as Schweitzer Fellow Elizabeth Coppelman, Class of 2013, was selected as a member of the 2011 inaugural class of Columbus Schweitzer Fellows. She joined 260 other fellows across the country who worked on service projects that address the health needs of underserved individuals and communities. The goal of her project was to expand the opportunities for children and adults with mental and physical disabilities to reap the benefits of animal therapy. Partnering with Serendipity Stables, Elizabeth developed a program that improved the experience of the clients and families who use this farm as a modality of treatment for their disabilities. She coordinated a group of veterinary students from Ohio State to assist in maintaining a safe, enriching environment and to provide veterinary care to the horses used in the program.

Supporting Veterinary Medicine Supporting oncology research and treatment Charles and Linda Kurtz brought their beloved Shih Tzu Sophie to Ohio State for what they thought was an intestinal condition, but their concern turned to heartache when Sophie was diagnosed with liver cancer.

Although the disease claimed her life after seven weeks of treatment, the Kurtzes knew they could not let her die in vain – nor could they leave the Veterinary Medical Center without letting the doctors, residents, and caregivers know how much their kindness to Sophie meant.

To that end, the Kurtzes made a pair of donations to the hospital’s oncology department in the hopes of helping other pet owners who face a cancer diagnosis.

“We need to show how much their support and love and friendship meant,” said Linda.

The Kurtzes were far from strangers at the veterinary medical center before Sophie’s cancer was diagnosed. Although they spend just four months in Columbus – “football season,” notes Linda – and the rest of the time in Arizona, Linda is an alumna of the College of Education and was part of the Alumni Advisory Council. She and Charles first brought Sophie in for an eye ailment in 2008 and “fell in love with the place.”

Charles and Linda Kurtz with Sophie

“They took such good care of us and showed us such compassion,” Linda said. “We knew Sophie was in the best hands.”

After a liver biopsy confirmed cancer, Sophie began chemotherapy under the care of Drs. Sandra Barnard and Bridget Uri. She died November 11, 2011, one day before her 12th birthday, but the Kurtzes could not let their relationship with the hospital end.

“The whole experience of support and care and involvement of doctors and assistants and students was incredible,” Linda said. “And we have such an appreciation for how much the world depends on teaching that we wanted to give back to the hospital that taught the wonderful people who treated our Sophie.”

As the world welcomed 2012, the Kurtzes opened their hearts and home to a new addition, a little Shih Tzu saved from a puppy mill. They named her Bridget as a testament to one of the doctors who meant so much to them.

“Everyone at Ohio State,” Linda said, “they were like family.”

University’s “advancement” model brings together development, alumni relations, and communications The university’s Board of Trustees has formally defined advancement as “the strategic, university-wide integration and coordination of alumni relations, communications and marketing, and development functions to foster positive relationships with students, alumni, and other key audiences; provide multiple opportunities for engagement; and generate involvement with and support for the mission of The Ohio State University.”

The College of Veterinary Medicine is an “early adopter” of the new model. In February the college welcomed Dr. Liesa Stone as its new chief advancement officer. A veterinarian, Ohio State alumna, and passionate advocate for the veterinary profession, Dr. Stone has 15 years of strategic team leadership, including the past six years at Bayer HealthCare, Animal Health Division, where she led a team of veterinarians responsible for technical support of the companion animal business. She has served on the boards of the Ohio Veterinary Medical Association as well as the Ohio State Veterinary Medicine Alumni Society. In addition, she is an engaged alumna of The Ohio State University, having served on the President’s Alumni Advisory Council and the Veterinary Medicine Capital Campaign Committee.

“I look forward to building a strong advancement team in the college,” said Dr. Stone. “We have great respect for our faculty and staff, and I plan to work with the team to develop a strategic plan that will engage both groups to help achieve the college’s fundraising, communications, and alumni engagement goals in conjunction with Dean King’s vision for the future.”

Additional members of the advancement team include Development Officers Danielle Ford and Katie Kostyo, Assistant Director of Alumni Affairs and Stewardship Jenny Bergman, Continuing Education and Events Planner Gen Thompson, and Director of Communications and Marketing Melissa Weber.

Honoring a passion for animals Life for Dr. Cliff Monahan was all about giving.

He served in the Congo as part of the Peace Corps, and later worked in Africa to improve the lives of animals and people through enhanced agricultural methods. As a veterinarian, he was a renowned researcher in the field of parasitology and one of the Veterinary Medical Center’s most popular teachers.

When Dr. Monahan died suddenly on September 15, 2009, at the age of 54, his mother Ellen knew her son needed to make one more gift.

That led her to donate his estate to create the Dr. Clifton M. Monahan Summer Research Award, which provides funding for veterinary students to study and work at The Wilds conservation center and the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, two of Dr. Monahan’s favorite places.

Dr. Monahan, who earned his DVM from Colorado State University and a PhD in microbiology and parasitology from Louisiana State University, was not married and had no children. When he died without a will, his estate was left to his mother, and she knew what her son would have wanted.

“I didn’t need it, and when I thought to myself, ‘Where would he like his money to go?’ I thought immediately of the Wilds and the zoo,” she said. “He had spent a lot of time at the Wilds. He liked to take his students there all through the years he was teaching. He thought it was a wonderful place.”

Her goal with the awards, she said, is to help foster in veterinary students the passion that drove Dr. Monahan throughout his life.

“Cliff was an adventurer and an oddball,” she said. “He took many different paths. He was an artist—he blew glass and did bronze—and wrote a wonderful book about his experiences in Africa. But animals were such an important part of his life. He would have wanted to share that with his students.

“If he would have been here, he would have done this [the scholarship] himself.”

Donors say gifts to VMC also benefit American agriculture Kitty and John Goodish thought their Tubmill Creek Farms was on the fast track to success after they spent $32,000 to bring a purebred bull home from the Kentucky Expo.

The animal, however, soon developed a medical problem that threatened its reproductive capabilities.

But a three week stay at the Veterinary Medical Center resulted in the diagnosis and correction of the problem, and led the Goodishes to realize they needed to do more to support such a vital community resource.

To that end they made a gift to the VMC’s Hospital for Farm Animals through the Grateful Client Program.

“The medical and support staff at the VMC provide the highest quality veterinary services that I have experienced in my tenure as a cattleman,” said John Goodish. “When our animals are there, we know that they are receiving the best diagnostic and treatment regimens available. This knowledge provides us with great peace of mind when our livestock are offsite for treatment.”

Visiting the VMC is not easy for the Goodishes, considering the facility is four hours from their home in New Florence, Pennsylvania, where they operate the 700-acre farms specializing in purebred Limousin and Lim-Flex animals. But they said the outstanding services, state of the art facilities, and reasonable costs have made it their go-to facility for many medical issues.

“Our relationship with the VMC has progressed to the point that we now call the facility directly when we have a problem that our local veterinarian cannot handle or if we simply want a second opinion,” Goodish said.

And that relationship is what compelled the couple to make their significant donation, to keep the VMC accessible for their specialized needs.

“If the VMC were to shut its doors for lack of funding, our business would suffer – not only from a veterinary services perspective but financially as well,” said Goodish. “Contributing to the VMC is not charity; it is an appropriate and sound investment in the future of Tubmill Creek Farms.”

It is a sentiment that the Goodishes hope others who make their livelihood from agriculture emulate, as they move forward with their own industry contributions.

“America’s universities have a long and successful history of promoting our nation’s agricultural growth and innovation. The OSU VMC is a part of that tradition. Sustaining the VMC is nothing less than a way of sustaining the regional farms and ranches that put food on America’s family tables.”

ALUMNI

Alumni Changes in alumni leadership Dr. Michelle Harcha, who served as both the director of Alumni Services and director of Professional Development for the past five years, is moving to the Department of Veterinary Preventive Medicine and focusing on the new semester curriculum. The increased focus on communications and other non-technical skills requires a full-time faculty member to head that program.

“I am proud to have served my alma mater as director of Alumni Services,” said Dr. Harcha. “I appreciate the relationships I have developed and will continue to participate in Alumni Society events as an active member. I know that the new advancement team will serve our alumni well!”

The College of Veterinary Medicine advancement team from left: Jenny Bergman, Katie Kostyo, Dr. Liesa Stone, Danielle Ford, Genevieve Thompson, and Melissa Weber. (See page 34 for a description of the new advancement model for communications, alumni relations, and fundraising.)

Jenny Bergman is now the assistant director of Alumni Affairs and Stewardship.

She will be managing many of the duties for alumni. Melissa Weber, director of Communications and Marketing, will continue to produce the monthly e-newsletter “Connect to Veterinary Medicine.” Genevieve Thompson, program coordinator for Veterinary Continuing Education, will assist with special events such as the Annual Golf Outing and Reunion-Homecoming Weekend.

Three generations of vets From Dr. Steven Phillips: “The medical bag that I am holding is one my mother purchased as a gift to my dad (Marvin) when he was a senior in 1943; the other equipment are the common tools of my dad’s practice. My dad didn’t have to go to the Y to build up his upper body after handling the weighty dehorners. Even after vetting (small animal) for 25 years myself he didn’t trust me to do the clamping while we worked his cattle during his retirement years when he and his brother had a cow / calf operation; they were in their 70s and early 80s at the time. I still just got to hold the tail with my knee in the calf’s flank. Once a ‘tail boy’ always a tail boy I guess.”

ALUMNI

Alumni, students, and friends of the College of Veterinary Medicine enjoy the festivities at the 2011 Alumni Reunion Weekend.

Alumni Reunion Weekend Alumni Reunion Weekend 2011 was held on September 9-11 and featured the traditional Friday night banquet, Alumni Society Recognition Awards (see page 38), and auctions. About $12,000 was raised for Projects to Aid the College. On Saturday, Dean Lonnie King presented his “State of the College” address, and attendees enjoyed a tailgate brunch.

Alumni Reunion Weekend will now coincide with Ohio State’s Homecoming Weekend, instead of being held in early September.

The 2012 events are planned for October 5-7. The Buckeyes football team will face the Nebraska Cornhuskers at 8 p.m. on October 6. New activities will be the center of the weekend,

including alumni class reunions at the Veterinary Medicine Academic Building on Friday evening, October 5, celebrating the classes of 1937, 1942, 1947, 1952, 1957, 1962, 1967, 1972, 1977, 1982, 1987, 1992, 1997, 2002, and 2007. Saturday events will include the State of the College address by Dean King and a barbecue tailgate. Details and registration information will be sent to alumni in mid-summer. Please note that tickets to this game will be in high demand; therefore, a ticket lottery will be held. Participants must be members of both the Veterinary Medicine Alumni Society AND the Ohio State University Alumni Association to participate. More information on the lottery will be provided closer to Reunion-Homecoming Weekend.

Alumni events Alumni in Ohio and neighboring states have hosted Dean Lonnie King and other members of his staff at several receptions during the past year.

These events have given alumni the opportunity to learn about activities, changes, and programs in the college, and have allowed college staff to become better acquainted with alumni.

Dean King has also spoken with area veterinary medical associations, including Lima, Toledo, and Miami Valley.

“My thanks go to Dr. Michelle Harcha and Katie Kostyo for arranging these events, and to Karin Zuckerman, director of the

40

VMC, for her presentation to the veterinarians at the meeting,” said Dr. King. “I believe it’s important for us to attend events such as these to interact with our alumni, referring veterinarians, and their hospital staff. I appreciate the opportunity to share our accomplishments and enjoy hearing their comments, reflections, and questions. We are fortunate at Ohio State to have such supportive alumni, who remain proud of their university.”

The College of Veterinary Medicine will continue to expand outreach opportunities and welcomes inquiries about the availability of speakers from the college.
