It’s nice to have some good news to report once in a while. No diseases, no crashes, no fractures today: let’s celebrate!

Texas A&M University announced today that an exhaustive search for a new dean of the vet school there has been completed and the new dean will be the University of Florida’s Dr. Eleanor Green, who is currently professor and chair of the Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences in the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Florida.

The timing of the announcement is interesting, since this week is the close of Dr. Green’s term as president of the American Association of Equine Practitioners. I hope she has time to catch her breath!
