James L. Winkle supported the College of Pharmacy with a substantial gift in 2007. This granite monument was erected to identify his contribution and the naming of the James L. Winkle College of Pharmacy. The monument was installed at the main entrance on Eden Avenue. The granite used matched the granite steps installed in the front of Wherry as part of the Eden Streetscape project in 1999.
