On Saturday, May 7th was held the graduation ceremony for the 2016 DVM students as well as for the graduate students enrolled in the VMED program.
Among them, the UMN swine group is happy to announce the graduation of Drs. Carmen Alonso, Nitipong Homwong, Catalina Picasso, and Jisun Sun.
Please join us in congratulating them for their academic success!
Dr. Luiza Roos received the Counsel of Graduate Students (COGS) grant award from the University of Minnesota.
This very competitive grant is offered to graduate students to help them with expenditures while they are traveling to present their research. Dr. Roos will be using the funds to attend the 2016 IPVS where she will be giving a talk on Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae gilt acclimatization.
Please join us in congratulating Luiza for her award!
UMN students did a fantastic job at the 2016 American Association of Swine Veterinarians (AASV) meeting. Four students presented their projects as a poster presentation and two gave a presentation, reaching 2nd and 3rd position of the student competition. Alyssa Anderson was one of the five students awarded with the Merck-AASV Foundation scholarship.
On the faculty side, Dr. Mike Murtaugh’s research project concerning the development of a challenge-free model to predict vaccine efficacy, was one of the four recognized by and received support from the AASV Foundation.
Congratulations to all!
