Dr. Paul Plummer (PhD 2009, veterinary microbiology)

After two decades at Iowa State's College of Veterinary Medicine, Paul Plummer has returned to his home state of Tennessee as the dean of the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine. "Returning after 20 years has been an exhilarating experience, and I have so many great impressions, but the one that stands out the most is that the culture of a welcoming community that cares for others and treats them as individuals is still clearly present," Plummer said. "That was something I very much appreciated when I was here previously, and I am very pleased to say that has not changed."
