Greetings from your Alumni Association!<br />
he UGA CVM Alumni Association needs your support as a member. All<br />
veterinarians who have attended or taught at the College are members. The<br />
Association’s objectives are to promote fellowship among alumni, faculty and<br />
students; unite alumni and faculty interested in improving and developing the<br />
College; build a permanent endowment fund for the benefit <strong>of</strong> the CVM; fund<br />
student scholarships; fund alumni receptions at state, regional and national<br />
meetings; provide leadership for alumni reunions; select and grant annual alumni<br />
awards; and inform alumni about the College and its activities through printed and<br />
electronic publications.<br />
Although the majority <strong>of</strong> the efforts to accomplish our objectives are<br />
conducted by the Executive Board with the expert assistance <strong>of</strong> the College’s staff,<br />
we cannot do it without your active involvement. Service is very important to<br />
the continued development <strong>of</strong> the CVM and its future graduates. We need you to<br />
serve as a board member or as a member <strong>of</strong> a standing committee. We are actively<br />
pursuing ways to better reach out to our recent graduates. Our New Graduate<br />
Advisory Committee, chaired by Dr. Catherine McClelland (DVM ‘83), is striving<br />
to improve the interactions between the College, the Alumni Association, and<br />
these newest members. The <strong>Georgia</strong> Veterinary Medicine Association is our<br />
partner in this effort. Additionally, our Awards and Recognitions Committee is<br />
working to identify our best alumni to be honored with Distinguished Alumnus<br />
and Young Achiever awards.<br />
I serve because the College has provided me with the education to become a<br />
veterinarian, the pr<strong>of</strong>ession that I love. I want to give back to the College so that it<br />
will be able to provide even more for future generations <strong>of</strong> veterinarians. Contact<br />
Marti Brick at brickm@uga.edu and let her know you are willing to join me in this<br />
endeavor and serve the CVM.<br />
Thank you for allowing me to be your president for the past two years. I<br />
will remain on the board for two more years in the capacity <strong>of</strong> immediate pastpresident,<br />
and I look forward to assisting our new president, Dr. Flynn Nance<br />
(DVM ’83), as he assumes the helm <strong>of</strong> our Association.<br />
Warmest regards, and Go Dawgs!<br />
Michael J. Topper, DVM ’80<br />
Immediate Past President<br />
