This month for the first time, the College of Veterinary Medicine is asking faculty and staff members to make a gift in support of College programs.
The "You Are Here" campaign, which kicked off this week, is part of the university-wide "Brilliant Futures" fund-raising initiative. For our college community, it means a chance for people to reflect on their connection to our mission and work and to contribute in another way.
Several who already donate, including Drs. Ann Johnson, Anne Barger, Sandy Manfra Marretta, and Wally Hoffmann, have shared their perspectives. You can read why they give and find out more information about the faculty-staff campaign on the Web at www.uiuc.edu/goto/urhere.
I invite everyone at the College to make a statement about why "you are here." And for our alumni and friends across the country, this is an opportunity to show your support and gratitude for the outstanding work done by our faculty and staff.
If you have any questions, please contact our advancement office at 217/333-2762 or send me an email at dean@cvm.uiuc.ecu.--Herb

News for Referring Veterinarians
To ensure that the referral process goes smoothly, please use our referral data form when you are referring a patient. You can find it online at www.uiuc.edu/goto/referral. The completed form may be sent with the client or faxed to our Medical Records section at 217-244-9554 (small animal) or 217-333-9796 (large animal).
We also ask that you call the hospital to alert us to the referral (217-333-5311 for small animal patients, 217-333-2001 for large animal patients) and send the medical record and appropriate diagnostic images with your client as well.
This spring we will have a new referral directory available online. Look for an announcement in the mail.
