Awarded in 2009
Dr Jim Lincoln & Dean Slinker
James Lincoln
WSU MS '79
Distinguished Veterinary Graduate Alumnus Award
The true legacy of Dr. James Lincoln is marked by the hundreds of veterinary
surgeons he has trained. For over 30 years, Dr. Lincoln has guided students
at WSU through the difficult path of veterinary orthopedic medicine. Many
consider themselves to be part of an exclusive club of trainees, who refer
to his talented ability to take traumatized bones and realign the puzzle
into perfection that is often referred to as healed “by the hands of
Lincoln.†An icon here at WSU's College of Veterinary Medicine, he has
helped define a large body of surgical specialists who now utilize his
principals of teaching and skills daily. We can think of no other educator,
colleague or friend more worthy of this year's 2009 Distinguished Veterinary
Graduate Alumnus Award.
Francisco J. Trigo
WSU PhD '83
Distinguished Veterinary Graduate Alumnus Award
Dr. Francisco Trigo is a renowned veterinarian and veterinary pathologist,
and leader in veterinary medicine in Mexico and Latin America. Under his
leadership as Dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine at the National
University of Mexico, his school is on track to become the first Mexican
College of Veterinary Medicine to be accredited by the AVMA-COE. Dr. Trigo
is credited with dramatically elevating the instruction, research, and
status of veterinary medicine in Mexico and its surrounding countries. Dr.
Trigo has lectured at more than 170 national and international conferences,
and has organized 38 scientific meetings and congresses, while publishing
over 100 scientific papers. His research productivity has made him the
preeminent authority in veterinary medicine in Mexico, and Latin America.
His leadership and dedication are the qualities we believe are most
deserving of this year's 2009 Distinguished Veterinary Graduate Alumnus
Award.
Trigo, the Dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine of the Autonomous
National University of Mexico was unable to attend as the University had
been shut down because of the H1N1 influenza outbreak and the President of
the University asked all Deans to remain available to deal with any
emergencies that should arise.

Yong Ho Park (WSU PhD '91) is the Dean of the college of
Veterinary Medicine at Seoul National University in South Korea. His
research work currently focuses on antimicrobial resistance of
microorganisms. He is published in nearly 90 international top-tier
Veterinary Medical and Biomedical journals, and has received numerous
teaching awards throughout his career. He is named on 26 patents, and his
use of molecular biology techniques have been the basis of a privately
developed company Genbank. A meticulous scientist and reliable collaborator,
he received the Idaho Governor's Valued Partner Award in 2005. These
outstanding achievements are deserving of this year's Washington State
University College Veterinary Medicine Distinguished Veterinary Graduate
Alumnus Award.
