Duluth, Ga., May 19, 2023 – Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health USA, Inc. today announced that it has partnered with the Texas A&M College of Veterinary medicine to establish the Alice Wolf Memorial Scholarship, which will be awarded to provide financial support and increased exposure to veterinary students who are focusing on feline infectious disease. The annual scholarship is named in honor of the life and career of Dr. Alice Wolf, a respected veterinarian and scholar who served as professor emeritus at Texas A&M for more than 24 years. 

“Cats are notorious at hiding disease, so training the next generation of feline infectious disease specialists is critical to ensure cats are properly cared for and innovation in the field continues,” said Tina Bearden, DVM, Senior Associate Director of Veterinary Technical Marketing at Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health. “We’re proud to partner with Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine to support veterinary students who will carry forward Dr. Wolf’s legacy of advancing feline health.”  

During her career, Dr. Wolf received numerous awards, including the Cornerstone Award from her alma mater, Chatham College, the Texas A&M distinguished Teaching Award, the Bourgelat Award from the British Small Animal Veterinary Association, and the Speaker of the Year Award from the prestigious North American Veterinary Conference (now known as VMX). Dr. Wolf was also a Chief Medical Consultant for the Veterinary Information Network (VIN). Dr. Alice Wolf passed away unexpectedly in 2021.  

In 1997, Dr. Wolf partnered with Boehringer Ingelheim in the shared mission to advance feline healthcare, with an emphasis on increasing education around feline infectious diseases. Her passion and contributions to the field of feline healthcare had made a lasting influence on veterinary practices across the U.S. and for feline patients.
