Steve Hines Endowment for Creativity in Teaching

Join us to support creativity in teaching.

The interest on this endowment will be used to further develop the "Diagnostic Challenge” instructional program and provide funding, usually in partnership with other funding, to develop additional innovative and creative approaches to instruction in the Veterinary Curriculum of the College of Veterinary Medicine.


Diagnostic Challenges are annual multidisciplinary, case-based exercises that began at WSU in 1991 to help students learn in a simulated "real world" setting. During our annual Diagnostic Challenges, students have opportunities to diagnose patients and work with volunteer clients in situations comparable to what they will experience in their own practices. The exercises are conducted collaboratively by instructors from across the veterinary college. Visiting veterinarians, often WSU College of Veterinary Medicine alumni, play the essential roles of case facilitators.
