Zoology and Physiology

For 113 years, the Department of Zoology and Physiology has been a leader in education, research, and service across Wyoming and beyond. From training future physicians through foundational medical education to advancing wildlife conservation and protecting ecosystem health, our work is deeply woven into the fabric of Wyoming and the scientific community.

We take pride in the breadth and depth of our programs. Our work ranges from molecules to mountains, from lab bench to field site. Few departments offer students such breadth, and even fewer make hands-on learning such a central part of the experience. At the heart of it all is our commitment to students. Our graduates leave with the skills, confidence, and experience to excel in careers across science, health, and conservation.

This Giving Day, your support helps us build on that legacy and meet the evolving needs of today's students. Your gift strengthens key areas.

Expanding Research Opportunities

• Support groundbreaking research and hands-on learning for students at all levels, from neuroscience to field ecology.

Enhancing the Student Experience

• Our students learn by doing. Your support creates meaningful fieldwork, travel and international learning opportunities, and spaces that foster community and collaboration.

Innovating in Teaching

• Help us grow experiential learning that prepares students to apply their education in dynamic practical ways.

Whether you're an alum, parent, friend, or partner in science, your gift helps us shape the next generation of scientists, educators, and leaders.

Thank you for supporting the Zoology and Physiology legacy. We are truly field-tested, built to last.
