Every spring, the MSU College of Veterinary Medicine honors faculty, staff, alumni, and other members of our community who have been granted awards and other distinctions throughout the year. This includes internal and external recognitions.

In May, we celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. This month is to honor the ways in which history—and veterinary medicine—has been enriched by members of these communities.

When the Lingk family’s Treeing Walker Coonhound, Marvin, suffered a life-threatening accident, Angie Lingk heard from multiple emergency vets that they would not be able to help him. Luckily, when Angie and Marvin came to the MSU Veterinary Medical Center (VMC), our clinicians were able to stabilize him, clean the wound, and create a treatment plan. The high quality of intensive and compassionate care that Marvin received made an extraordinary impact on Angie, and the experience left her wanting to help veterinary professionals at MSU.
