The University of Missouri (MU) has named Indian-American Srinand Sreevatsan as the new dean of its College of Veterinary Medicine. He will assume his new role on Aug 1.
The appointment, announced by MU provost and executive vice chancellor for academic affairs Matthew Martens, follows a comprehensive national search, the institution said in a statement.
Sreevatsan currently serves as the associate dean for research and graduate studies in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Michigan State University, where he is also a professor and chair of Pathobiology and Diagnostic Investigation.
The Indian American has spent seven years as the director of graduate studies for the veterinary medicine program at the University of Minnesota. He has authored nearly 200 scholarly publications and holds leadership roles in the Michigan Veterinary Medical Association and the Michigan Alliance for Animal Agriculture.
Additionally, he is also a member of the American Society for Microbiology and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
“Dr. Sreevatsan is an accomplished scholar with a passion for veterinary medicine and research initiatives that contribute to the health of animals, humans, and the environment,” Martens said. “With previous roles at Michigan State University and the University of Minnesota, Dr. Sreevatsan is well-acquainted with our land-grant mission and has embraced the integration of teaching, research and service in his educational leadership approach.”
“I am very excited to come to Mizzou,” Sreevatsan said. “I am passionate about higher education, innovation, and the delivery of outstanding clinical service. I will spend the first weeks of my time learning about the values and vision of Mizzou’s leadership and its community of stakeholders, and I look forward to working with these groups collaboratively to build transformative programs to benefit society.”
Sreevatsan earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in veterinary medicine from the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore. He also holds a master’s degree in public health (epidemiology) and a doctorate in veterinary medicine from the University of Minnesota. His career has been marked by strong international collaborations, the creation of signature programs, and mentoring junior faculty.
The MU College of Veterinary Medicine plays a critical role in the state’s economy and is a significant driver of the university’s research in pursuit of NextGen Precision Health and MizzouForward goals.’
