It is with great sadness that I inform you of the tragic loss of our colleague Dr. Monte McCaw this past Saturday. Dr. McCaw was a 1980 Iowa State DVM graduate and completed his PhD at the University of Minnesota in 1989. He was originally appointed at NC State CVM as a visiting Assistant Professor in swine medicine in 1988. Dr. McCaw was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in 1995. Monte was considered a leader in his scholarly area of porcine virology and immunology and a committed and talented teacher. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Services for Dr. McCaw will be held on Wednesday April 1, 2009 at 2:00pm EDT at Hope Lutheran Church, 3525 Rogers Rd., Wake Forest, NC. There will be a visitation at the church following the service.
