Lorin Warnick named dean of veterinary college

Dr. Lorin D. Warnick, Ph.D. '94, interim dean of the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, has been named the Austin O. Hooey Dean of Veterinary Medicine, effective May 6. His appointment was approved this week by the Executive Committee of the Cornell University Board of Trustees and ratified by the Board of Trustees for the State University of New York. "Lorin is the ideal choice to lead the College of Veterinary Medicine as dean," said Cornell Provost Michael Kotlikoff, in announcing the appointment. "He is a proven leader who has managed the college effectively and with great thoughtfulness since taking over as interim dean last year, and has a distinguished record of service to the college and university. He will keep the college on the cutting edge of best practices in animal and public health, as well as fundamental research." Warnick assumed the post of interim dean Aug. 1, 2015, after Kotlikoff, the college's previous dean, became provost.
