With
the rising prominence of veterinary specialty clinics
and tightening state budgets, the college faces a significant
challenge of providing competitive compensation for
the recruitment and retention of top-quality faculty
members.
Establishing three "Distinguished
Endowed Faculty Fellowships" at $200,000 (one in
each department: Biomedical Sciences, Pathobiology,
& Veterinary Medicine and Surgery) and eighteen
named "Endowed Faculty Fellowships" at $100,000
would provide the College with predictable funding sources
to help address these concerns.
