KERCHER FAMILY INTERNATIONAL GRADUATE STUDENT IN ANIMAL SCIENCE SCHOLARSHIP

Remembering the struggle to complete their education, the Kercher family is pleased to support an international graduate student. Lydia and Connie were raised in Montana near Bridger. Connie received his bachelor’s degree from Montana State University. After receiving his master’s and doctorate from Cornell University, Connie joined the faculty in Animal Production in 1954, and retired 42 years later. Lydia received her bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate from the University of Wyoming. From 1972 until 1994, Lydia Kercher also served the University of Wyoming as a faculty member in the College of Education. Connie and Lydia, together with their daughters Kathryn, Nina, Jane, and Kise, and their families, were honored as the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources’s 2004 Outstanding Donors for their support of the Wheel of Brands scholarship program, the Cliff and Martha Hansen Livestock Teaching Arena, and the International Graduate Student Scholarship. The family is pleased to support the university that has provided them a happy and comfortable life.
