Dr. Don McMahon (BUILD Dairy director 1993-2001, 2007-2021) said about the BUILD Dairy program: "The thing about BUILD Dairy that I’m proud about is its focus on students. It funds student research at Utah State and within the region. Currently, one-to-two million dollars of external funding come into the program every year, which means new food science faculty members have support for their research programs that attract students, develop students’ knowledge and skills, and broaden our graduates’ career opportunities."
