Vet Medicine Teaching AwardsThe Zoetis Distinguished Teacher Award [formerly Carl J. Norden-Pfizer]

The Zoetis Dis-tinguished Teach-er Award is the most prestigious teach-ing award in veteri-nary medicine. It is presented annually to a faculty member at each college of vet-erinary medicine in the US. Its purpose is “to improve veter-inary medicine edu-cation by recognizing outstanding instruc-tors, who, through their ability, dedica-tion, character and leadership contribute signif-icantly to the advancement of the profession.” This year’s recipient at Penn is Dr. Erika Krick.

“Dr. Krick is the kindest doctor in the hos-pital. She constantly has a smile from ear to ear when working with students and she causes a similar reaction with her students and clients. Dr. Krick is a stupendous role model.”

Dr. Krick graduated from Penn’s School of Veterinary Medicine in 2002. After one year of general practice she returned to Penn to complete a one year rotating internship in small animal medicine and surgery and a three year medical oncology residency. Dr. Krick is a board-certi-

Faculty Senate Executive Committee ActionsWednesday May 8, 2013

Chair’s Report: Faculty Senate Chair Susan Margulies encouraged SEC members to read the Application of the University’s Conflict of Interest Policy to Online Teaching that was published for comment in the May 7 issue of Almanac: www.upenn.edu/almanac/volumes/v59/n32/forcomment.html She thanked Past-Chair Camille Charles for her sage advice and experienced perspective. She also thanked Dwight Jaggard for his fresh viewpoint and welcomed Claire Finkelstein as the new Faculty Senate Chair-elect. Dr. Margulies thanked all outgoing SEC members for their service and commitment to faculty shared governance.

Dr. Margulies gave a broad overview of the 2012-2013 Senate activities and accomplishments which can be found in the Report of the Chair of the Faculty Senate. She noted that it was a busy year and highlighted the following topics that the standing Senate Committees, SEC and three ad hoc committees addressed: faculty diversity; faculty compensation; sabbatical leave; faculty admin-istrative burdens; alignment of Faculty Handbook policies and practices; and graduate, undergradu-ate and online education. She urged SEC members to read the full report that contains details about the examination of this broad array of important issues: www.upenn.edu/almanac/volumes/v59/n32/pdf_n32/050713-AnnualSenateReports.pdf

Ballot: SEC members voted to elect four faculty members to serve on the 2013-2014 Universi-ty Council Steering Committee.

Debriefing of the April SEC discussion concerning the Clarification of Appointment and Promotion Requirements for Standing Faculty-Clinician Educator: Dr. Margulies explained that she and Dr. Peter Struck, chair of the Senate Committee on Faculty and the Academic Mission (SCOF) met with the representatives of the four health schools after the April SEC meeting discus-sion. She explained that the draft Principles had been revised to reflect concerns that were raised by SEC members at the April meeting. She noted that she encouraged the representatives of the four health schools to think about ways to monitor the proposed caps. Dr. Margulies explained the pro-cess for the next steps; noting that the final stage for any proposed changes of the CE track to the Faculty Handbook will be a review by the Senate Committee on Faculty and the Academic Mission (SCOF) and then a review and vote by the Senate Executive Committee (SEC). SEC members had a robust discussion concerning how the health school faculty tracks are able to meet the demands for scholarship, clinical duties, teaching, and research.

Senate Committee Reports: SEC heard and briefly discussed annual reports given by the chairs of Senate Committees. Senate committee reports can be found in the May 7th issue of Almanac: www.upenn.edu/almanac/volumes/v59/n32/pdf_n32/050713-AnnualSenateReports.pdf

President Amy Gutmann said that the big-gest compliment that she got from a student about the Time to Shine party on Penn Park was that it was “better than Spring Fling!” She add-ed that there will be a Time to Shine internation-al tour building on the momentum of the Mak-ing History campaign, with a focus on new stra-tegic priorities.

Provost Vincent Price said that at the Cours-era Conference Penn had hosted there were more than 400 attendees from 98 institutions, including 20 international universities. There are more than one million enrollees in Penn’s Coursera courses.

EVP Craig Carnaroli’s financial report for the nine months that ended March 31, 2013 showed that for the Consolidated University, to-tal net assets were up $599 million over last year, driven largely by strong investment and operat-ing performance. Net operating income was $27 million higher than last year, and $109 million above budgeted net income. For the Academic Component, total contributions—pledges and new gifts—totaled $332 million, an increase of $73 million over the prior year, reflecting a suc-cessful culmination of the Making History cam-paign. The Health System’s operating margin totaled $124 million, $34 million below the pri-or year and $11 million below budget. Operat-ing revenue increased by $89 million. Expenses increased by $123 million (5.1%). Capital ex-penditures increased (75.5%) to $149 million.

Dr. Larry Jameson noted that Penn Medi-cine’s incoming class includes about one third of students who are the first college graduates in their families. There were 160 new physicians who graduated from the Perelman School of Medicine last week.

There were six resolutions approved by the Trustees: to authorize the monetization of the Uni-versity’s royalty interest in Juxtapid (lomitapide); to renew the guarantee of a $1.4 million loan to the Caring Center by Citizens Bank; to authorize Steinberg Hall-Deitrich Hall air handling unit 3, 4, 5 renewal phase 1 ($5 million); to authorize John Morgan Building switchgear upgrade ($6.3 mil-lion); to authorize $63.5 million for development and construction of a medical education center and faculty offices at the Perelman Center for Ad-vanced Medicine South Pavilion; and to approve the transaction related to the Chester County Hos-pital and Health System and its affiliates.

Hosting International Homelessness Research

Conference at PennThe University of Pennsylvania will

be the site for a two-day International Homelessness Research Conference: Ad-vancing the Policy and Practice of Crisis Response Systems on June 3-4.

Dr. Dennis Culhane, the Dana and Andrew Stone Chair in Social Policy in the School of Social Policy & Practice and research director for the VA’s Nation-al Center on Homelessness Among Vet-erans, is the organizer. He said the con-ference will create connections among researchers, policy makers and practitio-ners from around the globe.

“Internationally, we’ve been collabo-rating on many important innovations to address homelessness, including efforts at prevention and ‘housing-first’ strat-egies for people who experience long-term homelessness. This conference will enable us to share the results of those ef-forts with each other and with a larger au-dience,” Dr. Culhane said.

Designed to showcase the latest re-search in advancing the policy and prac-tice of homeless crisis-response systems, the conference will draw attendees and presenters from the United States, Aus-tralia, Canada and Europe. It will fea-ture international perspectives on home-less prevention, outreach, housing pro-grams and the effectiveness of new inter-ventions.

Shaun Donovan, secretary of the US Department of Housing and Urban De-velopment, will deliver the keynote ad-dress.

The conference is free for confer-ence committee members, Veterans Af-fairs employees and faculty and staff at the School of Social Policy & Practice.

What Students Said: “Professor Allen

was always very in-viting and friendly, al-ways willing to talk to students about the ma-terial or other concerns involving law school. She was always con-cerned with how we were feeling and sym-pathized with us. One of her main strengths was getting to know

each student on an individual basis in order to es-tablish a relationship and open up a line of com-munication.”

“Professor Allen was fantastic. She made ev-ery topic we covered come alive, and the live-ly class discussions she orchestrated helped to clarify the material. She also did a fantastic job of using the Socratic Method.”

“She was able to get me thinking in ways and perspectives I was never used to and that was challenging yet fun.” The Adjunct Teaching Award

What Students Said: “Professor Golkin is one of the best lecturers

at Wharton/Penn Law with deep understanding in current events in business. His insights and experience led students to approach and tackle business/law matters in a very pragmatic way.”

“Professor Golkin helped make the classroom experience more of a practical experience, bringing speakers who make the real-world decisions that

Dr. Michelle Abraham, a native of New South Wales, Aus-tralia, began her ca-reer at New Bolton Center with Dr. Jon Palmer, as a fellow in the neonatal in-tensive care unit during the spring of 2009. Her love of foals was fostered in Kentucky, USA, and Newmarket, UK, prior to veteri-nary school at Mur-doch University, AUS. Dr. Abraham honed her skills under the eye of

Penn residency-trained Dr. Jane Axon at Scone

Equine Hospital in Australia as an intern follow-ing her NICU fellowship. Dr. Abraham returned to New Bolton Center as a medicine resident in the fall of 2010 and immediately dove into both her clinical training and teaching career. Dr. Abraham and her fiancee, a fellow equine vet-erinarian, have two dogs and two cats. Dr. Abra-ham enjoys running, cooking, and gardening in her spare time. Winning the Boucher Award was made even sweeter when Dr. Abraham accept-ed the award from one of her mentors, Dr. Ray Sweeney.Class of 2013 Philadelphia Campus Teaching Award

Dr. JD Foster graduated from Penn’s School of Veterinary Med-icine in 2007. After spending one year in general practice followed by an in-ternship at a VCA specialty hospital in Norwalk, Con-necticut, he was ac-cepted into a small animal internal medicine residency at the University of Wisconsin.

nephrology and sought training in hemodialysis. After completing his residency training, Dr. Fos-ter returned to PennVet as a lecturer within the small animal internal medicine service. At Penn, he restarted a hemodialysis service, which quick-ly grew to become one of the busiest veterinary dialysis centers in the nation.

“I spent some serious quality time with Dr. Foster during a dialysis case while on medicine, and I have to say that he is one of the most down to earth clinicians whose passion for teaching is undeniable. Not only did I learn so much from him, but he made overnight dialysis sessions en-tertaining and fun. He is by far one of the best clinicians at Penn Vet.”Class of 2013 New Bolton Center Teaching Award

“She is one of the most friendly and ap-proachable clinicians out at NBC. She al-ways goes out of her way to make sure you are learning and always takes the time to get to know each of us.”

“Dr. Utter is a fan-tastic teacher. She goes above and beyond to create opportunities for students to learn in a fun and hands on way. When our castration lab on equine surgery fell apart, Dr. Utter happily put together a bonus lab for us with the dissecting microscope which was one of the best parts of the rotation.”Class of 2014 Philadelphia Campus Teaching Award

Dr. Jeffrey J. Runge graduated from Dick-inson College and then received his DVM from Ross University. Fol-lowing his internship at the Animal Medical Center in New York, Dr. Runge went on to do his surgical training at Penn Vet, which in-cluded a one year fel-lowship and a three year small animal surgi-cal residency. Dr. Run-ge is currently a lecturer of small animal surgery at Penn Vet. He focuses

primarily on laparoscopic and thoracoscopic min-imally invasive surgery, and has lectured on sin-gle port and multiport laparoscopic surgery alike. Through ongoing collaboration with leading hu-man laparoscopic surgeons, Dr. Runge and Penn Vet have become one of the leaders in veterinary reduced port surgery.

“Dr. Runge learned everyone’s name the first week of class. He held a laparoscopic surgery Olympics that was the most fun lab we’ve ever had. We have a lot of awesome professors here, but honestly, Dr. Runge stands out. He cares so much and wants us to succeed, and he knows his craft so well. Dr. Runge is reason enough alone to take small animal block.”Class of 2014 and Class of 2015 New Bolton Center Teaching Award

Dr. Ray Sweeney earned his undergraduate degree from Dartmouth College and graduated from Penn Vet in 1982, followed by an intern-ship and residency at Penn Vet’s New Bolton Center. He has spent his entire 30-year career at New Bolton Center, where he is currently pro-fessor of medicine and chief of the section of medicine and ophthalmology at New Bolton. Dr. Sweeney’s clinical specialty is internal med-icine of large animals, and his research work is focused on paratuberculosis and other infectious diseases of cattle. He teaches in all four years of the veterinary curriculum, including lectures, hands-on laboratories, and clinical instruction of fourth-year students. Dr. Sweeney has been a four-time winner of the Carl Norden-Pfizer Dis-tinguished Teacher Award, was a recipient of the Lindback Award for Distinguished Teach-

ing, and in 1992 was awarded the North American Outstand-ing Teacher Award by the American Asso-ciation of Veterinary Medical Colleges.

“Nothing makes it easier to show up for a 9 a.m. class than Dr. Sweeney and a few of his trademark jokes. His calm demean-or and great sense of humor make his lec-tures the rare and much-appreciated re-lief in an otherwise grueling second year schedule.”

“In addition to his dedication to teaching, Dr. Sweeney’s encouragement to develop a work-life balance makes him a great mentor to his students.”Class of 2015 Philadelphia Campus Teaching Award

Dr. Roberta Di Terlizzi received her DVM in Ita-ly in 1999 and had a residency at Kan-sas State University in veterinary clini-cal pathology end-ing in 2007. As a clinical instructor at Iowa State Uni-versity, she worked in educational re-search as well as developing and im-plementing new tools in the class-room to improve student learning abilities. She is the clinical pathology course director who has implemented new approaches with the integra-tion of team-based learning, turning point click-ers response and case-based learning. At Penn Vet since 2009, she finds teaching very reward-ing; it makes her feel accomplished in participat-ing in students’ lives and as they grow toward be-coming great doctors. She also enjoys working in the clinical lab, and in this role as diagnostician she is also able to teach residents and fourth-year veterinary students.

“There is simply no one in the school as en-thusiastic and fun-loving as Dr. Di Terlizzi. She also happens to be an excellent professor and is constantly working to improve education at Penn Vet and around the world. Her passion for teaching is clearly evident in the classroom, where she is able to take complicated clinical pathology concepts and explain them in a sim-ple, easy-to-understand way.”Class of 2016 Lecture Teaching Award

Penn Vet’s Ryan Hospital: Trauma Center for Animals

The University of Pennsylvania’s Ryan Vet-erinary Hospital has been named one of the na-tion’s first trauma centers for animals.

The American College of Veterinary Emer-gency and Critical Care has designated nine hos-pitals across the country as veterinary trauma centers. Penn’s Ryan Hospital, located at 39th and Spruce Streets, is one of those facilities.

The trauma-center network aims to develop a database for animal-trauma research. The hos-pitals will work together to create standards and distribute information about best practices.

“This new designation creates a standard of care in veterinary medicine that didn’t pre-viously exist and provides pet owners with im-portant information in the event of a trauma-re-lated emergency,” Dr. Armelle de Laforcade, ACVECC’s executive secretary, said in a state-ment. The hospitals named as trauma centers need to provide complete trauma care to small animals on a 24/7 basis and have board-certified specialists in emergency care, critical care, sur-gery and radiology available every day.

Oradell Animal Hospital in Paramus, NJ was also designated as a trauma center. The other fa-cilities are located in North Grafton, MA; Ir-vine, CA; Los Angeles; CA; Tampa, FL; Urba-na, IL; St. Paul,MN; and Raleigh, NC.

American Academy fellows are in residence at the Hans Arnhold Center for one academic se-mester or occasionally for a full academic year. Fellows become involved in Berlin’s cultural, so-cial, and intellectual scene beyond the walls of the Academy, often by establishing close work-ing affiliations with institutions related to their fields. The ultimate aim of the American Acad-emy is to bring the best and brightest Americans to the interested German public, through publica-tions, media contacts and public lectures.SAA VP & President: Dr. Bushnell

Dr. Rebecca Bush-nell, Dean of the School of Arts & Sci-ences (SAS), Thom-as S. Gates, Jr. Pro-fessor, and professor of English at the Uni-versity of Pennsylva-nia, has been elected the vice-president of the Shakespeare As-sociation of America (SAA). She will be-come president of the Association next year.

The SAA is a non-profit academic organization devoted to the study of William Shakespeare and his plays and poems, the cultural and theatrical milieu in which he lived and worked and the various roles he has played in both Anglo-American and world culture ever since.

Dr. Bushnell is a scholar of early modern English literature, culture and history, as well as an expert on the literary genre of tragedy.

The SAA holds annual meetings in differ-ent North American cities so that its members can exchange ideas and discuss strategies for reading, teaching, researching and writing about Shakespeare’s works and their many contexts. Sessions at these conferences include formal pa-pers, seminars, workshops, film screenings and theatrical performances.One Simons Investigator;Two Simons Fellowships

Honors & Other Things

AAI-BD Award: Dr. ArtisDr. David Artis, as-

sistant professor of mi-crobiology at the Perel-man School of Med-icine, University of Pennsylvania, has re-ceived the AAI-BD Bio-sciences Investigator Award for outstanding, early-career research contributions to the field of immunology from the American Associa-tion of Immunologists (AAI).

Dr. Artis’s research is focused on understanding the regulatory mechanisms that control immune cell homeo-stasis at the body’s barrier surfaces. Employ-ing diverse models of microbial colonization, pathogen infection and chronic inflammation, his research examines how mammalian host ge-netics and signals derived from commensal mi-crobial communities influence innate and adap-tive immune responses in the skin, lung, and in-testine.

“It’s an enormous honor to be recognized by the members of the AAI with such a prestigious award,” said Dr. Artis. “I also thank all the train-ees and collaborators that I have had the pleasure of working with. An award like this is a testament to their creativity, hard-work and dedication.”Grand Challenges Canada Grant: Dr. Behrman

Dr. Jere R. Behrman, the William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Econom-ics and Sociology at the University of Pennsylva-nia, is the lead research-er for an 18-month grant to the University from Grand Challenges Can-ada, for “Team 1000+ Saving Brains: Econom-ic Impacts of Poverty-Related Risk Factors during the First 1000 Days for Cognitive De-velopment and Human Capital.” The project will be centered at the Penn Population Studies Cen-ter, where Behrman is a research associate, but is part of a consortium with the University of Bris-tol and The Center for Disease Dynamics, Eco-nomics & Policy (CDDEP)/Public Health Foun-dation of India (PHFI) that involves over 50 in-vestigators in 17 countries.

Funded by the Government of Canada, Grand Challenges Canada funds innovators in low- and middle-income countries and Cana-da. The organization works to catalyze scale, sustainability, and impact, focusing on results that save and improve lives globally. Its Saving Brains program focuses on interventions that nurture and protect brain development in the first 1,000 days of life.

As many as 200 million children fail to reach their full potential as a result of exposure to risk factors—malnutrition, infection, poor manage-ment of pregnancy, birth complications, and lack of stimulation and nurturing—from con-ception to two years of age. Targeted interven-

tions may help unlock the potential of the next generation of children, and provide their coun-tries with an exit strategy from poverty. The complexity of the issue requires Integrated In-novation, which is at the heart of the Grand Challenges Canada approach.Three AAAS Members

Do You Still Have Money in Your Flexible Spending Account?If you have an unused balance in your Health Care or Dependent Care Flexible Spending Ac-

counts (FSA), you should keep some important dates in mind. Due to an IRS regulation known as “Use It or Lose It,” if you don’t use the full balance in your account each plan year, you lose that unused money.

Penn’s plan year runs from July 1–June 30 of each year. The money you contribute to the Flex-ible Spending Accounts during each plan year can only be used for expenses incurred within cer-tain dates (see below). Keep in mind that the expenses must be incurred while you are actively par-ticipating in the accounts.

Emerging Leader in Science & Society Program

The American Association for the Advance-ment of Science (AAAS) has selected the Uni-versity of Pennsylvania to be an Emerging Leaders in Science & Society (ELISS) founding partner campus. Three other universities were also chosen: Stanford University, University of Washington, and Purdue University.

ELISS, a new AAAS initiative, is a one-year competitive program designed to compliment graduate and professional student studies by producing leaders to help the nation understand and address tough issues related to communi-ty, the economy, health, energy and the envi-ronment. Two broad, cross-disciplinary themes of Health & Well-being and Energy & Envi-ronment have been chosen for the year, to in-clude students with diverse expertise and fields of study in the program.

ELISS Fellows will receive funding, career development, and networking opportunities to develop and mount interdisciplinary theme-re-lated and professional development programs for students at their institutions.

More than 1,500 graduate and professional students from more than 100 universities partic-ipated in a “Bring ELISS to my Campus” online signature drive.

“Penn was chosen because individual Penn graduate students, prompted by the Gradu-ate and Professional Student Assembly (GAP-SA) and the Biomedical Graduate Student As-sociation (BGSA) responded with enthusiasm to the AAAS online-survey to ascertain stu-dent demand at various campuses,” said Sa-mantha White, a PhD student in neuroscience at Penn, who with Katie Reuther, a PhD student in bioengineering at Penn, led the effort to bring ELISS to campus.

With matching funds from the Office of the Provost and GAPSA, Penn will fund at least four ELISS fellowships for the 2013-14 appli-cation period to talented Penn graduate and pro-fessional students.

Those interested in applying to the program can set up a profile in the ScholarSelect online application system by visiting the ELISS web-page www.aaas.org/cspsp/eliss/index.shtml

The application period will be June 17-July 15, 2013. Eligibility is based on completion of at least a bachelor’s degree and enrollment in a degree-granting graduate or professional pro-gram at Penn for the duration of the program.

More information is available at www.aaas.org/cspsp/eliss/index.shtml or by emailing penn@elissfellows.org

Protecting Yourself from Rogue AntiVirus

Warning ScamsYou’re cruising the Internet when a

window titled “Win7 Internet Security 2012” pops up warning you of several vi-ruses on your computer. Another official looking window indicates your AntiVirus (AV) software is not enabled and you’re encouraged to purchase the AV software that detected the “infection.”

Sound familiar? Unfortunately, these types of scams, designed to scare you into buying and installing fake antivi-rus products, are all too common. If you fall for this, not only will you waste your money on a bogus product, you may also be putting your data and your computer at risk of an actual virus.

We recommend the following: 1. Take steps to stop these rogue AV

programs from ever getting to your com-puter.

a. Ensure your computer’s operat-ing system software is set to automat-ically download and install updates to keep your system up-to-date with secu-rity fixes.

b. Make sure your operating sys-tem’s firewall is turned on.

c. Install Penn’s supported AV Soft-ware, Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP). It’s free—for both your work and personal machines—and it guards your computer against a host of viruses and malware. You can download it at: www.upenn.edu/computing/product/2. Know how to differentiate an ille-

gitimate antivirus program from a legiti-mate one. Many fake AV scams will send repeated messages for additional pay-ments to stay up to date. With SEP for example, once you install the software, it automatically updates, without any need for payment.

3. In the event you find your machine is infected, contact your Local Support Provider (LSP). Your LSP may use Win-dows Defender or another reputable mal-ware removal tool like Malwarebytes to scan for and remove rogue software.

Rogue AV Software can be a nui-sance, a waste, and in some cases dan-gerous to your computer and your data. It only takes a few simple steps to stay safe. Stay One Step Ahead as you navigate the information super highway.

CCTV LocationsThe Division of Public Safety is committed to enhancing the quality

of life for the campus community by integrating the best practices of pub-lic and private policing with state-of-the-art technology. A critical compo-nent of a comprehensive security plan using state-of-the-art technology is Closed Circuit Television (CCTV).

As prescribed by the University Policy “Closed Circuit Television Mon-itoring and Recording of Public Areas for Safety and Security Purposes,” (Almanac April 13, 1999), the locations of all outside CCTV cameras mon-itored by Public Safety are to be published semi-annually in Almanac. The locations and descriptions of these cameras can also be found at the Di-vision of Public Safety website, www.publicsafety.upenn.edu/TEC/closed-circuit-television-cctv/ The following existing cameras meet those criteria:

PENN COMMENCEMENT 2013

The special sounds of celebration were heard throughout Penn’s 257th Commencement: the traditional strains of the bagpipers and the rhythmic beats of the Penn Band that accompanied the 2013 graduates along Locust Walk to Franklin Field where the enthusiastic

applause could be heard—seen; the soothing sound of Chaplain Charles (Chaz) Howard’s invocation and dismissal (below) the stirring sounds of the National Anthem, sung by Tanvir Srinivasa Gopal, C’13 (below right) and the Penn standard—The Red and Blue—sung by the Penn Glee Club (lower right). See the supplement in this issue for the Baccalaureate and Commencement speeches and more photographs.
