The University of California, Davis, has received a $120 million gift for its veterinary school from philanthropists Joan and Sanford I. Weill.
The gift is one of the largest in the university’s history, and the largest ever for veterinary medicine worldwide, according to the news release.
“Angel’s care at UC Davis left a lasting impression on our family,” Joan Weill said in a statement.
In honor of the gift, the school has been renamed the UC Davis Weill School of Veterinary Medicine.
“UC Davis is home to one of the world’s most outstanding veterinary schools and many of the brightest minds in animal and human medicine,” said Sandy Weill, a long-serving member of the UC Davis Chancellor’s Board of Advisors.
