President Holbrook Visits College OSU President Karen Holbrook visited the College in May and was enthusiastically greeted by several faculty, staff and students. Dean Hoffsis led the new president on a tour of the academic building, then showed her a presentation of College highlights recently produced by Veterinary Technology Services. President Holbrook then shared with the audience some of her priority goals for the university. If I can be of any assistance, or answer any questions, please call me in the College Alumni Affairs office, College Website 614-292-1171, or e-mail me at bates^'osu-edu If you haven't visited the College's Building Dedication website in awhile, you might want to take a look from time to time. The formal dedication of the new We've recently started a "News" Veterinary Medicine Academic page on the website to capture some Building is scheduled to take place highlights, (http:/ / www.vet.ohio­ Bonnie Christopher Bates on September 12—about the time state.edu/) Editor you are reading this column—in conjunction with the College's Annual Alumni Meeting and Class Reunion weekend. Many weeks of preparation went into making the event a memorable occasion. We hope you were in attendance.

White Coat Ceremony The College hosted its third annual White Coat Ceremony in March for veterinary students beginning their clinical rotations as senior students. The Ohio Veterinary Medical Association and the OSU Veterinary Medicine Alumni Society co­ sponsored this exciting event. Because so many of the students want their families to witness the ceremony, this year the affair was moved to Thurber Theatre in the Drake Union. Alumni Society President Ronald McNutt and OVMA President Tom Mann assisted Dean Glen Hoffsis and Associate Dean William Fenner in presenting the coats to the students.

Surely it took a lot of hard work and dedication, as well as outstanding leadership and interpersonal skills. But looking back, despite the fact that it wasn't easy, Art would have it no other way. Dr. Arthur Fetter grew up on a dairy farm in Holmes County, Ohio. In 1961, he received his DVM degree from the OSU College of Veterinary Medicine. Following graduation, Dr. Fetter served two years in the U.S. Air Force Veterinary Corps as a First Lieutenant and Captain.
