Kevin Boblenz Scholarship
I am Casey Frazier-Pringle, a rising sophomore Animal Science major at Tuskegee University. I was born in a city on the outskirts of Atlanta, Georgia, and raised solely by my mother. My journey into the field of agriculture began at a young age when I took a school trip the Tybee Island, along the coast of Georgia. There, myself and my peers had the privilege to shadow marine biologist and their volunteers as they cared for the animals on the island. This experience was the first that sparked my interest in the field of animal science specifically. Since then, I have spent my summers participating in programs coordinated by Tuskegee University and Morehouse College. Those programs helped me better understand animals and inspired me to pursue a career dedicated to animal welfare and reproductive health.
Throughout my academic career, I have consistently excelled in my studies, taking two 9th-grade courses in 8th grade, maintaining a GPA of 3.9 in high school, receiving honors such as the College Board National African American Recognition Award, and being accepted to over 50 colleges and universities across the country. My academic interests focus on animal reproduction and agricultural practices, particularly methods to improve livestock health and reproduction in animals. My plans for the future include attending Tuskegee University's College of Veterinary Medicine and graduating a year early to become a theriogenologist.
This past summer, I had the pleasure of participating in the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility Laboratorian Training Program coordinated by the United States Department of Agriculture. During this experience, I and other students from undergraduate and graduate degree programs hailing from different Historically Black Colleges and Universities could learn advanced laboratory techniques and study various zoonotic viruses and diseases. The purpose of this was to inspire us to take an interest in studying those diseases and viruses, many of which could prove to be detrimental to the population if an outbreak were to occur.
As I mentioned earlier, my goals include working with animal reproduction, the title I plan to acquire being a theriogenologist. Theriogenology is a specialty in veterinary medicine that focuses on the reproductive health of animals. There are many things in the world that can harm animals, which in turn makes it hard to feed the population effectively. During my internship, we learned just how detrimental and dangerous certain viruses are to animals and humans, many of which could affect the gestation period of an animal. I plan to research these elements to be able to protect animals and make certain that their reproductive cycles are as smooth as they can be.
I believe my dedication to my goals, academic achievements, and passion for animal science make me an ideal candidate for this scholarship. I am eager to contribute my knowledge and skills to advance the field and make a meaningful difference in the world of animal care. Thank you for considering my application. I am hopeful that with your support, I can continue to pursue my passion and contribute to the field of Animal Science.
