The Davis-Michael Scholars program was made possible through a generous bequest from two Morgantown sisters, Gladys Gwendolyn Davis and Vivian Davis Michael, who desired to foster quality veterinary care in West Virginia. The Davis-Michael Scholars program was established to support the pre-veterinary medicine major Animal and Nutritional Sciencesand has awarded more than 9 million dollars in student scholarships since 2001.
The WVU Davis College of Agriculture and Natural Resources has 13 farms and forests located throughout the state of West Virginia that are vital to the school’s teaching, research and outreach endeavors.
