Even among this generous group, College of Pharmacy alumni stand out, leading those of all other WSU colleges. No other pharmacy school that we have heard of approaches this level of support. Contributions to the Dean's Fund for Excellence allow the College to initiate special programs and respond to opportunities. The Dean's Fund supports events such as Pharmacy Weekend and Scholarship Awards Night, sends students and faculty to conferences and seminars, brings nationally known speakers to Pullman to share their work, helps to fund the position of statewide Pharmaceutical Care Coordinator, funds special student recruitment initiatives, and pays for the College's newsletter, Pharmacopia. In recognition of the critical role played by the Dean's Fund for Excellence, the College announces the establishment of the Dean's Circle of Excellence.
Donations support our scholarship programs.
Furthermore, they are no longer eligible for Pell grants and other forms of federally funded assistance. Scholarships and loans are their only sources of financial assistance. Contributions help specialized programs within the College meet their program goals. Initiatives such as the Cancer Prevention and Research Center, the Drug Information Center, and the graduate program in pharmacology and toxicology need and receive assistance from private contributors. There is also a research fund that assists our faculty, particularly younger faculty members, in setting up their labs and getting their research programs off the ground.
