Sent on behalf of Dean Cyril Clarke.
 
Dear CVM Faculty,
 
I am pleased to announce that Pfizer Animal Health Inc. will again sponsor the Pfizer Award for Research Excellence.  The Pfizer research award, consisting of an inscribed plaque and $1,000, recognizes a faculty member who has attained or is likely to attain a national reputation for research excellence.
 
Please note that nominees must be presently employed as a full-time faculty member of the College and should be the principal investigator in research conducted within the past three years.
 
Any faculty member may nominate a qualified candidate.  The nomination consists of a nominating statement and Curriculum Vitae and should be submitted to Debrah Rarick by March 30, 2011.  Nominations will be reviewed by the Research Committee.
 
Recent recipients of this prestigious award are: Drs. Dan Rockey (05), Beth Valentine (06), Mahfuzur Sarker (07), Kathy Magnusson (08), Michael Kent (09) and Erica McKenzie (10).
 
To insure that sufficient nominations are received and that both academic departments are represented, I am asking department heads to coordinate submission of at least two nominations from each department.
 
The New Investigator Award is sponsored by the College and has the following criteria:
 

● Recipient must be tenure-track (not tenured) or within 5 years of initial renewable fixed term academic faculty appointment (instructors, senior research and clinical faculty), with an appointment of at least 0.5 FTE in the College of Veterinary Medicine.
● Potential for development of nationally/internationally reputable research program, based on quality and quantity of published scholarship, and extramural funding appropriate to the research disciplinary interest.
● Nominations will be reviewed by the Research Committee.

 
Any faculty member may nominate a qualified candidate. The nomination consists of a nominating statement and Curriculum Vitae and should be submitted to Debrah Rarick by March 30, 2011.
 
Recipient last year: Dr. Ling Jin.
 
Sincerely,
 
Cyril

Hello Faculty

Graduation for the College of Veterinary Medicine will be held on Sunday, June 12, 2011, at 1 pm, at the La Sell's Stewart Center. 

If you will be able to attend, please respond to me by March 18, 2011.  If you attended last year, then I already have your cap and gown information and I just need to hear that you are attending or not attending.  If you have not attended an OSU CVM graduation and will attend this year, please forward the following information to me:

1.  The institution where you received your veterinary degree. 

2.  The degree title, i.e., D.V.M., V.M.D., etc,

3.  If you have a Ph.D., please list the field of study.

4.  Your height in feet and inches.  All caps are - "One size fits all", so I do not need your cap size.

Each year there may be hoods that do not match your alma mater’s colors. These hoods are sent to me by Josten’s. The OSU bookstore and the Dean’s Office do not have control over Josten’s inventory or colors which are sent. 

The College will pick up the cost of your rental ($59.50 each).  Please be sure that you will be able to attend before responding.  If you already have a gown, or cap and tassel, or hood, please let me know so I can order only what you need for the ceremony. 

Thank you very much!

Patrick
