2025: Michael Perone

Michael Perone is a professor at West Virginia University. He served the university for 12 years as chair of the Department of Psychology and for 8 years as associate dean for faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences. He has served ABAI in several ways, including as president (twice), chair of SABA’s first capital campaign, coordinator of the Accreditation Board, chair of the task force on contingent electric skin shock, and ABAI’s delegate to AAALAC International, an organization that assesses and accredits animal care and use programs. He has hung around so long that the number of things he has done right is getting close to balancing out the many things he has done wrong, a circumstance for which he is grateful.
