On January 1, The Raptor Center will welcome Victoria Hall, DVM, MS, DACVPM as the third director in its almost 50-year history. Hall joined the staff in June as the first holder of the Redig Endowed Chair in Raptor and Ecosystem Health.
Current director, Julia Ponder, DVM, MPH, whose visionary leadership has taken the organization to new heights, will pass the torch as she takes on an expanded leadership role with the College of Veterinary Medicine. In addition, she will stay intimately involved with TRC, leading special projects such as the Partners for Wildlife program and helping Hall with the transition.
Hall’s impressive background in management, veterinary practice, and global public health ensures TRC’s sustainability and strengthens its credibility on One Health issues. One of Hall’s early projects was to guide TRC’s transition to virtual programming.
