College of Pharmacy Alumni Awards

College of Pharmacy

Recognizing outstanding alumni is one way the College of Pharmacy community shows it's commitment to make The Ohio State University stronger. The College of Pharmacy Alumni Awards recognize those alumni who have contributed outstanding service to the professional practice of pharmacy or have helped to advance research in the pharmaceutical sciences. These honorees represent just a few of the thousands of pharmacy alumni who contribute in countless ways to their fellow alumni, to their communities, to the university, to the profession of pharmacy and the health sciences..

Distinguished Alumni Award recipients must have a professional degree (B.S., M.S., Pharm.D.) from the OSU College of Pharmacy, have made distinguished contributions in the fields of public health and public service, have performed outstanding activities in the interest of the College and its students, and have an outstanding record in the profession of pharmacy.
