Michelle LeBlanc Memorial Service May 4

 

Dear Alumni and Friends,
 
We want to let everyone know that a memorial service to honor Dr. Michelle LeBlanc will be held Saturday, May 4, at 7 p.m. in the Straughn Center at 2142 Shealy Drive in Gainesville. Pre-service viewing of the Kentucky Derby will be available; we know Michelle will be with us in spirit during the "Run for the Roses."
 
Her longtime friend and colleague, Dr. Chris Sanchez, has worked to establish the Michelle LeBlanc Memorial Scholarship Fund in Dr. LeBlanc's honor. The scholarship is for students with an equine orientation who are interested in theriogenology or stud farm medicine (https://www.uff.ufl.edu/OnlineGiving/FundDetail.asp?FundCode=018593). You can also contact Patricia Wlasuk, assistant director of development, at 352-294-4256.
 
We hope you can join us to celebrate Dr. LeBlanc's life.
 
Glen Hoffsis
