Administrator Honored by Oklahoma State

UNL's director of research compliance services recently was presented a Distinguished Alumnus Award from Oklahoma State University's College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. R. Gene White, DVM, was one of two Oklahoma State alumni to be honored for outstanding contributions to the veterinary profession.

White, a West Virginia native, received his bachelor's degree in 1958 and doctor of veterinary medicine degree in 1960 from Oklahoma State, where he was chosen the veterinary college's outstanding senior. After graduating, White entered private veterinary practice and later worked in the pharmaceutical industry.

In 1969, he joined the UNL West Central Research and Extension Center at North Platte. He earned his master's degree from UNL in 1971.

While at the North Platte center, White developed the veterinary diagnostic laboratory and field research program for the west-central Nebraska area. He later served as director of the center. In 1985, White was named director of the institutional animal care program, a position that in 1993 was renamed director of research compliance services and expanded to include federal compliance in both animal and human research.
