A
dairy industry driven effort is underway to help raise $50,000 to establish a named endowment through the Michigan Dairy Memorial and Scholarship Foundation (MDMSF) to
recognize Dr. Joe Domecq’s lifelong service to the dairy industry. The endowment will provide financial support to students participating in dairy judging and the dairy management programs at MSU.

Many MMPA members are familiar with Dr. Domecq (pictured at left) and may have worked with him in some capacity over the years in his role as Coordinator of the Ag Tech Dairy Management program and dairy judging team coach. In addition to these responsibilities Dr. Domecq currently serves as the new Coordinator of Dairy Education within the MSU Department of Animal Science which will provide an opportunity for students to gain practical, hands-on skills and knowledge needed to succeed in many of the career opportunities that are available in the dairy industry. The goal of the fundraising effort is to establish an endowment within the MDMSF and when fully funded at $50,000, the intention would be to utilize the funds generated each year to provide support to students participating in dairy judging and dairy management programs at MSU. The establishment of the endowment is meant to recognize Dr. Domecq’s many years of dedicated service to dairy youth and the dairy industry by providing a continued source of financial support to two key dairy programs at MSU that Dr. Domecq has helped grow in support of the dairy industry. THE MICHIGAN DAIRY MEMORIAL AND SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION IS THE LARGEST SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM IN THE MSU COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AND NATURAL RESOURCES. THANKS TO GENEROUS DONORS, MDMSF PROVIDES SCHOLARSHIPS ANNUALLY TO WORTHY MSU STUDENTS WITH PLANS TO ADVANCE THE FUTURE OF THE DAIRY INDUSTRY. TO CONTRIBUTE, VISIT: GIVINGTO.MSU.EDU/GIFT/?SID=9436
