Two alumni -- William V. Eaton '61 of Severna Park, Md., and Stephen J. Ettinger '62, DVM '64, of Los Angeles -- have been elected to the Cornell Board of Trustees. They will serve a four-year term, beginning July 1.

Eaton, a principal and former president and chief operating officer of Cini-Little International, a global hospitality-consulting firm, has been active for many years with Cornell Alumni Affairs and Development, the Cornell Alumni Admissions Ambassador Network in the Baltimore-Washington area, the Cornell Council's Sustainable Development and Environmental Committee and the Cornell Hotel Society. In 2001 he was awarded the Frank H.T. Rhodes Exemplary Alumni Service Award.

Ettinger is chief medical officer of Echo Healthcare, a provider of veterinary primary care services to companion animals through a network of veterinary hospitals; previously, he was director of the California Animal Hospital Veterinary Specialty Group in Los Angeles. An active alumnus, he serves on the Cornell University Council and the College of Veterinary Medicine Advisory Council and works to enable less-advantaged and minority students to attend Cornell.
