Marcia Lane has a passion for animals, and her dream is to teach those around her about animal welfare. Marcia has an overwhelming desire to educate others and provide care for animals not fortunate enough to have an owner.
In 2006, Marcia established the Marcia P. Lane Endowed Chair in Humane Ethics and Animal Welfare at MSU CVM. Through the chair, the College is able to develop collaborative relationships with animal sheltering organizations throughout Mississippi and the surrounding region. Private funding provided for the purchase of two mobile surgery units that expanded the college’s shelter medicine program and increased opportunity for veterinary students to gain surgical skills while meeting the needs of shelters and un-adopted pets.
Through the Marcia P. Lane Endowed Chair in Humane Ethics and Animal Welfare, MSU CVM is finding solutions to the pet overpopulation problem and addressing what can be done to resolve the problem of pet homelessness.
