The Legend is retiring!

Join us this term in wishing Dr. Alberto Mendoza the best for his retirement. After 17 years with Vet Tech Institute of Houston, we think he’s earned it! Dr. Mendoza was a founding faculty member of the program. He quite literally helped to write and to teach every course in the curriculum! This means that every student who has ever graduated from our program had Dr. Mendoza as an instructor. Through the years he has been an integral part of growing and improving the school. Most recently he has found his more permanent role in teaching his two passions-exotic animals and farm and food animals. He has always been a favorite among the instructors and leaves some very big shoes to fill. He will be greatly missed but we are very excited for him as he enters his well-deserved retirement years.

We invite all alumni to submit memories and pictures of Dr. Mendoza to be shared with him and in a slide show to be shown at a bon-voyage evening later this term. (Details to follow) Please send any pictures and memories to MendozaRetires@VTI.edu. They will be forwarded to Dr. Mendoza and printed out to fill a memory book for him. You are also welcome to send cards and well-wishes to the school. You may stop by the school but we cannot guarantee he will be at the school or available to greet you when you do.

Let’s flood the in-box with those memories and pictures!
