MILLER WINS STUDENT RECOGNITION AWARD

     COLUMBUS -- Brenda Miller of MILFORD, a third-year student 
in the College of Veterinary Medicine, has won The Ohio State 
University Board of Trustees Student Recognition Award.  The 
award was presented during the April 4 meeting of the board.

     Miller was honored for her work in organizing the first 
student chapter of the American Association of Human Animal Bond 
Veterinarians, an organization that promotes public awareness of 
animals in the role of pets, service aids, and in medical 
therapy.

     Miller established the college’s Pet Loss Support Hot Line, 
a service that offers pet owners counseling for grief and guilt 
experienced through the loss of a pet. She served as treasurer of 
Ohio’s student chapter of the American Association of Equine 
Practitioners, and is a member of the Student Chapter of the 
American Veterinary Association.

     An advocate of animal and patient rights, Miller plans to 
work as a veterinarian after graduation, treating both small and 
large animals.
