Dean’s Circle of Excellence luncheon
Members of the Dean’s Circle of Excellence gathered for the group’s third annual luncheon, held Jan. 20 in Orlando at the North American Veterinary Conference. It’s an opportunity for the college dean to present updates to the group regarding college activities, including how their donations are being put to work to improve programs and facilities at the UF CVM. This year, the dean updated the group on progress with the college’s strategic plan and areas we will be focusing on in the next year as part of UF’s Preeminence Campaign (UF Rising) to enhance our programs, and including preparations for upcoming curriculum review and AVMA accreditation site visits.
