Giving to Dairy and Animal Science

The Department of Dairy and Animal Science’s rich history of achievement and excellence dates from its inception in 1907. That’s nearly 100 years of making a difference in the lives of people – with important scientific discoveries, outstanding educational opportunities, and the latest in agricultural techniques.

Today, the Department continues to build upon that tradition and strong heritage of leadership and distinction. We continuously strive to improve our service to our stakeholders - producers, processors, agribusinesses, and youth and rural residents.

To maintain and build upon this excellence, the support of friends and stakeholders of the Department is essential. We appreciate those who have contributed generously in the past. Additional support will enable the Department to enhance our education, research and outreach programs.

You may wish to give to an endowment or scholarship fund that is already established to benefit the Department. The Giving Online page provides information about how to do this. There are many ways to offer contributions, including the opportunity to provide support each month by an automatic deduction from a bank account.

For those interested in creating an endowment, options include endowing faculty chairs, or you may wish to create an endowment that provides support for existing or new education, research and extension programs. You may elect to gift appreciated securities or create an estate gift.
