The Harvey S. Peeler Jr. College of Veterinary Medicine (PCVM) has had a phenomenal year. We have made significant progress on opening the first college of veterinary medicine in South Carolina and added one more jewel to the Clemson crown. We did, however, lose a great friend of the college of veterinary medicine, Clemson University and the veterinary profession. Remembering Tim Boosinger
“
I share this sentiment with Dr. Boosinger’s friends and colleagues that he was so special because of his leadership, vision, kindness and a passion to make the lives of animals and people better. He was never loud, but his presence was always felt. He connected with people on a personal level and made sure we were seen, valued and supported.
Steven Marks Founding Dean, Harvey S. Peeler Jr. College of Veterinary Medicine
Dr. Tim Boosinger passed away in January 2025. Dr. Boosinger earned his DVM and PhD from Purdue
University. He was a specialist in Veterinary Pathology, a retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel, former Dean of the Auburn University, College of Veterinary Medicine and former Provost of Auburn University. Most recently, Dr. Boosinger served as a Special Advisor to the Provost and Co- Chair of the Steering Committee for the PCVM at Clemson University. Dr. Boosinger had many passions including family, travel and woodworking and was an all- around handyman. Perhaps, above all, Dr. Boosinger epitomized servant leadership. He was a friend and mentor to all, and we were fortunate to have him as part of the Clemson family. We will miss him. Tigers Forever!
