Pharmacy Alumni Can Sponsor a White Coat in Their Name

A white coat – a symbol, of knowledge, wisdom and status in healthcare. For pharmacy students it represents the first step on the road to becoming a pharmacist. A road filled with rigorous classroom and experiential learning experiences, both of which are needed for a competent and compassionate health care provider. Along this path they will come across many who will impact and influence their professional and personal growth. With this in mind, Dean Neil MacKinnon, PhD, and the James L Winkle College of Pharmacy want to provide our alumni a unique opportunity to join us in a new White Coat Sponsorship program.

Through this program you can….

Support students with a $50 sponsorship of their new white coat.
 
Receive recognition with your name on a card in the pocket of the student you sponsored. With those who sponsor 10 or more being recognized in the College’s Annual Report.

Provide an avenue for mentorship with the sharing of your contact information should you be interested.  

This August 21st, when freshly minted PharmD students put on their white coat for the first time, the hope is to have every student sponsored and give them an immediate connection to the professional family that is Pharmacy. This card will serve as a connection to someone who has been there, and been successful; to answer questions as they begin to navigate pharmacy school.

Should you be interested in this opportunity please e-mail Ryan Young, program director of alumni and external affairs at ryan.young@uc.edu
