Dr. Susanne Stieger-Vanegas, Rebecca Camden, Dean Susan Tornquist.
Last week, CVM advisory council member Rebecca Camden, and her dachshund Maude, presented Dr. Susanne Stieger-Vanegas’ with the Camden Endowed Professorship in Diagnostic Imaging.
OSU Provost Sabah Randhawa thanked Ms. Camden for her continued support of the college and emphasized the importance of endowed professorships to support outstanding faculty, and allow them to pursue cutting-edge research while continuing their commitment to quality teaching.
“Having an endowed professor illustrates the importance of diagnostic imaging, and the commitment of our friends and donors to excellence in areas where we shine,” says Dean Susan Tornquist.
After accepting the award, Dr. Stieger-Vanegas spoke about her experience traveling in third-world countries and how fortunate she feels to live and work in a safe, healthy place. She said the professorship will inspire her to ‘think outside the box’ and expand her research in computed tomography.
The Camden Endowed Professorship in Diagnostic Imaging is the second endowed position created at CVM. The first was the Glen Pfefferkorn and Morris Wendorf Endowed Professorship of Camelid Medicine awarded to Professor Chris Cebra.
