Remembering Dr. Margaret Clark

Fri, Apr 17, 2020

On April 19, 1995, the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City was bombed killing 168 people, injuring hundreds more, and changing the lives of even more. One of those lives changed was that of Rosslyn Biggs, DVM, beef cattle extension specialist and director of continuing education at Oklahoma State University College of Veterinary Medicine. She lost her mother in the bombing – Margaret “Peggy” Clark, DVM. Clark earned her DVM degree from Oklahoma State University in 1978. Biggs followed in her mother’s footsteps and earned her DVM degree from OSU in 2004.
