On May 21, Dr. Todd Tams, VCA Chief Medical Officer, was presented with an Adopted Cougar Award during the 20^th annual Small Animal Endoscopy Workshops sponsored by the WSU College of Veterinary Medicine and Storz Veterinary Endoscopy Company. 

The small animal endoscopy program began as a one day course in 1990, and has evolved to a six day series of courses thanks to the dedication and Cougar Spirit of Dr. Tams. 

Any person who exhibits genuine loyalty and affection for Washington State University and fully knows and understands that special allegiance known as "Cougar Spirit," may be sponsored for adoption by the Alumni Association.
