From the Dean's Desk

You may have heard our exciting news that an anonymous donor has made a most generous contribution of $2M to our College – creating two endowments that will help create initiatives to raise our national profile, enhance our ability to attract top students and help them graduate with less of a financial burden, because our top priority is to give our students a world class education. This gift is both humbling and inspiring, and reminds us that no matter the size, we are grateful for the generosity and deep commitment by all those who support the College of Pharmacy.
