The 2021 Spring Awards Ceremony was brought to you in an online version hosted by Professor Ed Depeters (Master Advisor for Animal Science). This annual event is an opportunity to celebrate the completion of another academic year and the successful completion of a program by seniors. Congratulations to all Animal Science students for their accomplishments this year! Best of luck to our seniors and we hope to see folks back on campus in the near future!
Annie Joyce King, Professor and food scientist in the Department of Animal Science, passed away unexpectedly in early April 2025 at the age of 76. She was born and raised in North Carolina. After completion of a PhD in Food Science at North Carolina State University in 1983, Dr. King was recruited to the Department of Avian Sciences at UC Davis to provide expertise in food science and advance the quality of poultry meat and eggs. Avian Sciences merged with the Department of Animal Science in 1998, and she transferred to the new Department of Animal Science. All who knew Professor King were impressed by the incredible amount of enthusiasm, original thinking, professionalism, and positive attitude that she brought to everything she did. A quote from her colleague Dick Grau, now deceased, summarizes her academic life “Annie’s good humor, clear sense of direction, intelligence and firmness makes it a pleasure to work with and be led by her”. Those who don’t know Professor King might remember seeing an ultra-professional woman in high heels charging around campus with a purpose.
