Purdue University Provost Patrick Wolfe announced Thursday (Oct. 24) that Dr. Bret Marsh, Indiana state veterinarian and the state’s top-ranking animal health leader, will join Purdue to serve as its next dean and hospital CEO of the College of Veterinary Medicine.
Marsh, a first-generation college student from rural Indiana who earned his bachelor’s degree in animal sciences from Purdue’s College of Agriculture and his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the college he will now lead, has held several national leadership roles throughout his tenure with the state of Indiana. Among these, he served as special detail to the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture’s homeland security staff following 9/11 and has held leadership roles with the United States Animal Health Association, serving as president and as a member of its board of directors. He has also assisted the American Veterinary Medical Association — the primary accrediting body for colleges of veterinary medicine worldwide — as the state’s delegate and later as a six-term treasurer, and the Indiana Veterinary Medical Association as its president and board chair.
