TRC: Teaching, Research and Service

Dr. Redig works with conference attendees at the
EAAV conference in Germany

Our post today highlights our mission statement of teaching, research and service that we are so proud of. Drs. Redig and Ponder are currently at the European Association of Avian Veterinarians Conference in Wiesbaden, Germany. They co-taught an advanced avian orthopedics laboratory. Dr. Ponder was able to send a photo of Dr. Redig working with conference attendees. 

Education and service were topics as TRC appeared at an Earth Day event for more than 350 Xcel Energy employees recently. TRC presented opportunities and information about volunteering and our Recycling for Raptors (R4R) program. This volunteer-led initiative recycled 13,570 cartridges in 2012, and is celebrating its tenth year this year. (Here is the website for more R4R information and a map of cartridge drop-off locations.)
