Kenneth W. Smith Professorship
The Kenneth W. Smith Professorship at Colorado
State University was created by the Smith Family to honor the life and
work of Dr. Kenneth Smith, a 1932 graduate of the Professional Veterinary
Medical Program and a longtime professor and clinician at the Veterinary
Teaching Hospital. Dr. Smith, who retired in 1976 and died in 2000, was
highly respected and much beloved by colleagues, clients, staff and students
at the school and in the community.
The professorship is awarded to a senior faculty member specializing in
small animal care who is recognized for having clinical and teaching skills
similar to those for which Dr. Smith was well known and respected. Dr.
Michael R. Lappin is the first recipient of the Professorship. Dr. Lappin
has been with Colorado State University since 1988. His area of specialization
is in feline infectious diseases and feline medicine.
Dr. Lappin successfully petitioned Colorado State University to recognize
the “Center for Companion Animal Studies” in 2007 and serves
as the first director of the “Center”.
