Margin of Excellence Fund

The Margin of Excellence Fund provides the Dean with the flexibility to allocate resources when and where they are needed most, ensuring we can respond swiftly to seize critical opportunities. These discretionary funds empower us to make an immediate impact, whether it’s by equipping researchers with cutting-edge lab technology to drive scientific breakthroughs, acquiring advanced diagnostic tools to save pets' lives, or recruiting and retaining top faculty. The fund also supports the training of the next generation of veterinarians, researchers, and educators, hiring veterinary technicians, and addressing vital needs that may lack alternative funding sources.
