Nowhere in the world have tree improvement and silviculture had a bigger impact on forest productivity and value to landowners than in the southern US. The economic impact from almost 60 years of tree improvement in the southern United States has been staggering. For example, over 300,000 hectares are planted each year with seedlings from the breeding efforts with loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) by members and staff of the North Carolina State University Cooperative Tree Improvement Program. The present value of continued genetic gains from traditional tree improvement efforts is estimated to be $2.5 billion USD to landowners and citizens in the southern US.

The joys of the vice presidency are embellished by the thrills of conference planning. I worked with some of the most generous and assiduous members of our association, who made the experience truly memorable.

An adult male blue Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens) presented to the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine with a cranial mass located dorsal to his right eye. A fine-needle aspiration was performed followed by supportive care. Due to the patient’s small size aggressive treatment was not elected. The mass continued to expand over a course of five months until the patient was found deceased, and a postmortem examination was performed. Histopathology determined the mass to be a chromatophoroma of the iridophoroma or leucophoroma subtypes. This is the first documentation of a chromatophoroma in B splendens.

Education Design

Research in veterinary medical education has illustrated the challenges students face with respect to mental and emotional wellness, lack of attention to physical health, and limited opportunities to meaningfully engage with persons from different backgrounds. In response, the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine has adopted a comprehensive wellness program available to all members of the college community. The wellness program is based on a ‘house system’ learning community model and focuses on five broad outcome categories: intellectual growth; mental and emotional health; social distance reduction; cultural competence; and physical health. This case study paper describes the development and implementation of the model at this institution.
