MVRDL Director Recieves E.P. Pope Award
Dr. Lanny W. Pace –
E.P. Pope Award Recipient
The prestigious E.P. Pope Memorial Award for 2017 was
presented to Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine
alumnus, Dr. Lanny W. Pace. The E.P. Pope Memorial Award is an annual award
made in memory of Dr. Edward P. Pope, one of the founders of the American
Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians (AAVLD). The Pope Award is
the highest award given by the Association and is presented to an individual
who has made noteworthy and significant contributions to the Association with
regard to implementing and advancing the recognition of the specialty of
veterinary diagnostic laboratory medicine. Pace was presented with this notable
honor at the 60th Annual Meeting of the AAVLD in San Diego,
California earlier this fall.
Pace earned an undergraduate degree and doctor of veterinary
medicine degree from Mississippi State University and a Ph.D. from Louisiana
Tech University. Pace currently serves as the Executive Director for the
Mississippi Veterinary Research and Diagnostic Laboratory System and Professor
of Pathology in the Department of Pathobiology and Population Medicine. He
provides administrative oversight and leadership of the state’s veterinary
diagnostic laboratory system. Throughout his career, Pace has also been active
in a number of state and national associations related to veterinary medicine
and animal agriculture. Pace currently serves as a member of the House of
Delegates with the AAVLD and has also completed six years as the Southeast
region representative on the Executive Board in 2017.
Pace says that is an honor to be recognized by the AAVLD
with the E.P. Pope Award and that he has been fortunate to have worked with
great mentors, colleagues, and coworkers who all have exceptional dedication to
veterinary diagnostics.
The Mississippi State University College of Veterinary
Medicine is proud of Dr. Lanny Pace and his accomplishments, and we warmly
congratulate him on being this year’s distinguished recipient of the E.P. Pope Award.

Linking arms: First year DVM student and FarmHouse Fraternity work together to support TK Martin Center for Technology and Disability
A Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine
doctor of veterinary medicine (DVM) student and the Mississippi State
University FarmHouse Fraternity are working together to provide support to the
TK Martin Center and the students to whom it provides services. While
veterinary school itself comes with a significant amount of day-to-day
responsibilities, Gunnar Dunnam has found a calling outside of the four walls
of his classrooms and labs to give back in a tangible way to children in the
community. One of those children is Emma Welch.
"I met Emma my freshman year at Mississippi State while
working as a therapeutic horseback riding volunteer in West Point, Mississippi.
Emma was not only my rider, but she was also a student at the T.K. Martin Center
for Technology and Disability,” said first year DVM student Gunnar Dunnam. “It
was during this time that I got to know Emma and her mom better, and I learned
a great deal more about the important services provided by the T.K. Martin
Center.”
Dunnam is the current Resident Advisor/House Dad for the
Mississippi State University chapter of FarmHouse Fraternity. Prior to his role
as resident advisor, he served as philanthropy chair for the chapter. He says
that the fraternity was not satisfied with the impact they were having with
their philanthropic efforts, so they began to develop a plan for making a
larger impact.
“As it turns out, I didn’t need to look far,” said Dunnam. “My
first thought was the amazing work that was literally happening right down the
street from us at the T.K. Martin Center. So, we began this partnership with
them.”
In less than a year, the fraternity has been able to donate a
Rifton Activity Chair, which is designed to help with feeding, speech therapy,
active learning, and for clients (like Emma) with sensory processing
challenges.
“This photo was taken at a luncheon where $2,880 was donated so
the center could buy new computers,” said Dunnam “This is an opportunity for
our members to be able to get involved and have first-hand experience in making
a positive difference in our community.”
In addition to the luncheon where the donation for the new
computers was announced, Emma was also named honorary sweet heart of FarmHouse
Fraternity, since she is the link that originally connected the two
organizations together.
“Our family along with others from T.K. Martin Center have been
so impressed with the willingness of the FarmHouse Fraternity to help our
kids,” said Martha Ann Welch, Emma’s mom. “The T.K. Martin Center means so much
to our family because of how Emma has grown – cognitively and physically – since
she started attending in 2013 at the age of three. To see these young men and
their passion for helping others in the community is amazing! We are just so
appreciative of what they have done so far and for what I know they will
continue to do.”

the T.K. Martin Center by visiting their website at http://www.tkmartin.msstate.edu/.

Vet Students Decorate, Donate Dog Houses
By: SARAH RAINES
Tuesday, October 10, 2017
STARKVILLE, MS
Several Mississippi State University veterinary students recently participated in a project geared toward relieving the stress of school while helping out the Oktibbeha County Humane Society.
Third year veterinary student Veronica Kiely, a Purina student representative, was involved in deciding what to do with the dog houses.
“We had a painting event to make it fun and just kind of a stress reliever for the vet students,” Kiely said. “There were prizes for the most creative dog houses, which were judged by faculty members.”
The dog houses were painted by hand by students who worked in teams. Of the 15 dog houses donated, there were 10 judged by faculty members, and the most creative are on display in the front lobby of the Wise Center.
The top three winners were cottage-themed, beach-themed and cabin-themed. Read More...
