He is also an active member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, American Association of Veterinary Anatomists, World Association of Anatomists, Society for Neuroscience, and the American Association for the Advancement for Science. Dr. Cash is best known for his patient, practical, caring method of teaching and his hearty laugh. His genuine concern for each student is evident. One of today's graduating students commented that "Dr. Cash's desire to teach is evident not only in the classroom but after hours as well. His patience in anatomy and clear explanations truly help create the foundation for our future as veterinarians. Not only this, but his genuine compassion and ability to treat us as colleagues qualifies him for this award." This is the second time that Dr. Cash has received a Carl J. Norden Distinguished Teaching Award. His first was in 1980. The Carl J. Norden Distinguished Teaching Award was presented to Dr. Cash during the annual College of Veterinary Medicine honors banquet held on April 19, 2000.
