Dr KT Wright passed away September 29, 2022. Friends, family, and colleagues remember his legacy as a staunch and active supporter of the AASV Foundation. KT was a tremendous believer in the mission of the foundation and the obligation of all AASV members to use the foundation as a mechanism to give back to the profession and support the next generation of swine veterinarians.
To raise awareness of the foundation’s programs among the AASV membership, a pledge program in memory of KT was launched during the AASV Annual Meeting. KT was well known for his ability to convince others to support the foundation. In fact, he is still urging members to give back. Watch "The Pitch," featuring Drs KT Wright and Conrad Schmidt, created by Dr Sarah Probst Miller and AgCreate Solutions, at https://www.aasv.org/foundation/thepitch.
