  Meet Angus

Meet Our Donors

Thank you for your interest in supporting the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) and world-class education at Washington State University (WSU).  Each year, hundreds of alumni and friends of the CVM enhance the teaching, research, and outreach programs of the college through private philanthropy and charitable donations. Generous gifts by individuals and organizations provide scholarships and fellowships, state-of-the-art equipment for teaching and research, funding for student clubs, and a variety of other important programs.

There are several ways you can give to the CVM including matching gifts, creating an endowment, or gift planning.
