After chairing the Cummings School Board of Advisors since 2006, David McGrath, V86, AG83, A11P, A15P, F19P, stepped down from that role this spring. McGrath said he’s been privileged to witness the dramatic improvements at the school since he was a student there 30 years ago, and he noted that Tufts’ veterinary school is now reaching another high point. “We just renovated the Foster Hospital, we’ll finish our seven-year accreditation next year, we have new campus facilities for students,” he said.
For McGrath, service on the Cummings School board—and on the Tufts University Board of Trustees from 1999 to 2009—reflects his appreciation for an education that helped him realize a childhood dream. McGrath eventually became proprietor of 13 animal hospitals in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. He sold the hospitals last year.
