Risco receives 2005 Florida Blue Key Distinguished Faculty award

Carlos Risco, D.V.M., received the 2005 Florida Blue Key Distinguished Faculty award along with five other UF faculty members at the Education Celebration luncheon on Sept. 28.

A professor in the department of large animal clinical sciences, Risco is a board-certified theriogenologist (animal reproduction specialist) and an internationally recognized lecturer on dairy cattle. He was chosen for the award because of his dedication to the university, research, students and the greater Gainesville community, said Matthew Wein, Homecoming general chairman. Florida Blue Key has been giving the Distinguished Faculty award to outstanding UF faculty members since 1945.
