Veterinary Medicine Faculty Honored by TVMA

COLLEGE STATION, February 20, 2006 - Faculty members Daniel Posey and Deborah Kochevar from the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences at Texas A&M University were recognized at the Texas Veterinary Medical Association's annual honors and awards program.

Each year the outgoing-president of the TVMA selects up to three recipients for special awards recognizing exceptional contributions and assistance to the president in obtaining his or her major goals for that year.

TVMA President Dr. Roland Lenarduzzi acknowledged Dr. Posey, clinical assistant professor in the Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences, for his contributions to the large animal continuing education programs offered by the TVMA. Dr. Kochevar, associate dean for Professional Programs, was recognized for her overall contributions and especially for advancement of student involvement with the TVMA and its membership.

"Having two faculty recognized during the same year is a truly fine accomplishment and exemplifies the commitment of our faculty to facilitate and contribute to TVMA programs in highly significant ways," said H. Richard Adams, dean of the college.
