MARGARET BOYD SCHOLARSHIP FUND

Margaret S. Boyd, a native of Colorado, came to neighboring “enemy” territory in 1956. She was not concerned about this move, but her relatives and acquaintances were. For her, it turned out to be the right move. She joined Verna J. Hitchcock’s team in the Home Economics Department and married geology faculty member Don Boyd. During the next 39 years, Margaret taught courses in food and nutrition and served as coordinator of the Dietetics Program. Ten of those years were spent as department head. During this time, she observed the significance of scholarship aid in enabling many worthy students to achieve their career goals. Margaret and Don provided years of support to the Department of Family and Consumer Sciences, the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources and the University of Wyoming. Don continues that support in honor of Margaret who passed away in April 2012 following a valiant battle with cancer.
