College of Veterinary Medicine honors 2023 Wilford S. Bailey Award recipients

Three outstanding alumni of Auburn University’s College of Veterinary Medicine — Dr. Dennis A. Feinberg ’75, Dr. Fairfield T. Bain ’83 and Dr. Calvin M. Johnson ’86 — were honored as the 2023 recipients of the Wilford S. Bailey Distinguished Alumni Awards during a ceremony April 13.

The Bailey award is the highest honor given to Auburn College of Veterinary Medicine alumni to recognize their professional accomplishments in veterinary medicine, outstanding contributions to their communities and the overall advancement of animal and human health. It is named to honor the late Wilford S. Bailey, who held a 50-year continuous faculty appointment at Auburn, serving in positions ranging from veterinary instructor to university president.

A 1942 graduate of the college, Bailey was the first recipient of the college’s Distinguished Alumnus Award. Following his death in 2000, the award was named in his honor.
