December 2017

This is the time of year for reflection, gratitude, and promise of new things to come. The U-M Pharmacy family has a lot to be proud of this year, as you will read below. We have many partners in our success: students, faculty, staff, alumni, donors, and friends. You are why we remain a top tier pharmacy school. Thank you for helping us amass the largest endowment among schools of pharmacy – which allows us to provide an exceptionally generous scholarship program and attract leading scholars to faculty positions. Thank you for sharing your expertise as preceptors, mentors, members of our various boards and committees, speakers, and all the other ways you impact the College. Thank you for your high expectations of us.

Looking toward 2018 and beyond, big things are in store for the College – a new building, a growing faculty, extraordinary research gains – and we will continue to need your help. Please consider making a year-end gift.

Thank you and Go Blue!

Dean Jim Dalton
