John Campbell (30.0K)

John R. Campbell

John R. Campbell has spent more than four decades working in higher education. He earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in the animal sciences from the University of Missouri-Columbia, and did post-doctoral studies in educational media at the University of Colorado-Boulder.

Although he also engaged in research and outreach, Dr. Campbell emphasized teaching while serving on the faculty of his alma mater from 1960-1977. He has taught more than 12,000 students at three land-grant universities. Additionally, he has lectured on topics related to teaching, counseling, and motivating students at more than 70 colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada.

Dr. Campbell authored IN TOUCH WITH STUDENTS: A Philosophy for Teachers (Educational Affairs, 1972) and co-authored with Dr. John F. Lasley three editions of THE SCIENCE OF ANIMALS THAT SERVE HUMANITY (McGraw-Hill, 1975, 1979, 1985), which reflected their experiences while teaching a five-hour introductory course in animal sciences that emphasized disciplinary fundamentals. He co-authored with Dr. Robert T. Marshall THE SCIENCE OF PROVIDING MILK FOR MAN (McGraw-Hill, 1975), which has been translated into Spanish, Russian, and Polish.

In 1973 Dr. Campbell was recognized as a distinguished teacher by both the National Association of Colleges and Teachers of Agriculture (NACTA) and the American Dairy Science Association (ADSA). He was named an Outstanding Educator of America in 1975 and received Gamma Sigma Delta's International Award for Distinguished Service to Agriculture in 1985. He served as President of the ADSA in 1980-1981.

In 1977 Dr. Campbell became Associate Dean for Resident Instruction and in 1983 Dean of the College of Agriculture at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He was President of Oklahoma State University from 1988-1993. As an administrator Dr. Campbell became widely respected as an energetic, visionary leader who emphasized the four fundamentals of academic excellence – people, programs, facilities, and funding.

Dr. Campbell joined the Department of Animal Science at Oklahoma State University as President Emeritus and Professor of Animal Science in 1994, where he helped team-teach three courses, taught a university-wide Honors course on the College and University Land-Grant Legacy, and guest lectured on various topics related to higher education and the foundations of the land-grant system. Concurrently he authored RECLAIMING A LOST HERITAGE: Land-Grant and Other Higher Education Initiatives for the Twenty-First Century (Iowa State University Press, 1995; Michigan State University Press, 1998). Subsequently he authored DRY ROT IN THE IVORY TOWER … A Case for Fumigation, Ventilation, and Renewal of the Academic Sanctuary (University Press of America, 2000). He has contributed chapters to several other books including the ENCYCLOPÆDIA BRITANNICA.

With the passing of Dr. Lasley in 1994, Dr. Campbell invited Dr. M. Douglas Kenealy of Iowa State University and Dr. Karen L. Campbell of the University of Illinois to co-author the vastly revised and selectively expanded (includes three new chapters) textbook ANIMAL SCIENCES: The Biology, Care, and Production of Domestic Animals (McGraw-Hill, 2003). Dr. Campbell’s travels to all 50 of the United States and more than 50 other countries enabled him to observe firsthand many interesting aspects of the biology, care, and production of domestic animals, and he shares these observations in the book's Fourth edition.

Dr. Campbell retired from Oklahoma State University in 1999 and resides with his spouse, Eunice, in Columbia, Missouri, where he serves on several boards, commissions, and consultantships; presents guest lectures; and works on revising two books and authoring a forthcoming one.

Dr. M. Douglas Kenealy

Dr. M. Douglas Kenealy serves as Associate Department Head in Animal Science and Professor in Charge of Dairy Science at Iowa State University. Dr. Kenealy received a BS degree in Dairy Science and a PhD in Animal Nutrition (Animal Science) and Physiology (Zoology) from Iowa State University.

Following training with the US Army, Dr. Kenealy served as nutritionist and quality control officer for a Midwestern feed company. For the past 26 years he has served as teacher and advisor to students and student organizations while steadily increasing his role in teaching administration at Iowa State University. Dr. Kenealy continues to teach two to three courses per semester, including introductory animal science, animal nutrition, and a career development course. He has been recognized for teaching and advising excellence with the American Dairy Science Association Purina Teaching Excellence Award, the AMOCO Outstanding Teacher Award, one of the first Iowa Legislative Awards for Teaching Excellence, and the ISU Foundation Excellence in Academic Advising Award.

Despite significant responsibilities in leadership and service arenas, Dr. Kenealy has maintained a heavy teaching and advising load throughout his career. He is a leader in developing curriculum, teaching materials, and student learning communities. Dr. Kenealy served as the first Chair of the Board of Directors for the Iowa State University Center for Teaching Excellence.

Dr. Kenealy's impact on curricula became international with membership on the Iowa State University educational development team assisting with curricular reform at the National Agriculture University of Ukraine and in development of a new animal science program in Fujian Province of the People's Republic of China. Dr. Kenealy's interest in international development has also included work in Costa Rica, India, Russia, and Taiwan. For his service Dr. Kenealy received the Excellence in International Agriculture Award from the College of Agriculture and was awarded an Honorary Professorship at the National Agriculture University of Ukraine.

Dr. Kenealy has placed considerable emphasis on creating a diversified educational opportunity for students. He has promoted inclusion of nontraditional students into the animal science educational process through development of a companion animal program for urban students at Iowa State University. He completed an intensive Equity Institute short course to become a diversity facilitator for ISU, then partnered with a faculty team to develop and teach a university-wide "Dialogs in Diversity" course. Dr. Kenealy is a member of the Tribal College Task Force, a group pursuing cooperative educational efforts with Native American Tribal Colleges throughout the United States.

Over the past 27 years, M. Douglas Kenealy has introduced nearly 10,000 ISU undergraduate students to the science of animal agriculture. He has been quoted: "Teaching freshman students can be the most exciting opportunity in education. New minds. Fresh faces. All looking forward to the excitement of college, education, and learning about animal agriculture. What more could a professor of animal science want?"

Karen L. Campbell

Karen L. Campbell found animals intriguing even before she could walk. She spent weekends and summer breaks interacting with the menagerie of domestic and wild creatures on her grandfather's farm. Some of her fondest early memories have to do with exhibiting Guernsey cattle in local fairs. By age 12 she knew she would study the basic sciences underlying the animal sciences and then prepare for a career in veterinary medicine. To broaden her experiences, Karen interned in various veterinary practices in Missouri (including Swope Park Zoo), Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina.

Dr. Campbell earned a bachelor of science degree in agriculture (cum laude) and a doctor of veterinary medicine degree (summa cum laude) from the University of Missouri-Columbia. She then taught and studied as an intern in small animal surgery and medicine at Auburn University and as a resident in internal medicine at the University of Georgia, where she earned a master of science degree in clinical pathology. All the while and in the meantime, she has received numerous forms of local and national recognition for her professional expertise and contributions in research and teaching. She was board certified by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (1983) and the American College of Veterinary Dermatology (1989).

In 1983 Dr. Campbell joined the Department of Veterinary Clinical Medicine at the University of Illinois (UI). She is now professor of veterinary clinical medicine and section head of specialty medicine. Over the years she has taught 13 professional and seven graduate courses. She also has served as major advisor, primary intern advisor, or consultant/advisor to over 150 professional students and degree-holders.

Moreover, since 1987 Dr. Campbell has served as faculty mentor to 20 UI agricultural college undergraduates in the Agricultural and Veterinary Medicine Research Apprenticeship Program in Applied Sciences, funded by National Institutes of Health and United States Department of Agriculture.

Dr. Campbell's research has focused on evaluating effects of various environmental, hormonal, nutritional, and immunomodulatory factors as well as disease on the health and integrity of canine skin. Forty-nine federal, state, corporate, and private funding sources have supported this work, which has resulted in over 100 publications for various stakeholder audiences. In addition to co-authoring this fourth edition of ANIMAL SCIENCES: The Biology, Care, and Production of Domestic Animals, she has authored 16 book chapters in veterinary medicine, and contributed to over 30 proceedings. She has a busy schedule of presenting invited talks here and abroad and reviewing articles others have submitted for publication.

Dr. Campbell has served on 11 national committees related to veterinary medicine, and in 2002 was elected a director of the American College of Veterinary Dermatology. She has also served numerous local organizations having to do with youth and animals.

Dr. Campbell's personal pleasures derive largely from her family and from contacts with horses, dogs, and cats. She operates an eight-stall horse stable with attached indoor riding arena. She resides with spouse Larry Motsinger, a certified public accountant; daughter Sarah; and son Jason on a six-acre rancho outside Urbana, Illinois.
