Thanks to a $42,500 gift from the Walgreen Co., the UT College of Pharmacy\u2019s annual pharmacy summer camp for high school seniors will continue for the next five years.<\/p>\n

The pharmacy camp is a three-night, four-day event that takes place each summer at UT and at Ursuline College in Pepper Pike, Ohio, near Cleveland.<\/p>\n

The 40 high school juniors who are competitively selected for each camp session learn about careers in pharmacy and the pharmaceutical sciences, see the Main and Health Science campuses, and interact with UT pharmacy faculty and staff.<\/p>\n

The 2009 camp dates are June 14 -17 at Ursuline College and June 21-24 and July 19-22 at The University of Toledo\u2019s Main Campus.<\/p>\n

Dr. Johnnie Early tells Elaine Boateng that she is the first UT winner of the Walgreens Diversity Scholarship.<\/p><\/div>\n

“The pharmacy camp is one of the most important educational initiatives of the college,\u201d said College of Pharmacy Dean Johnnie Early II. \u201cStudents gain a broad view of pharmacy and many leave saying pharmacy is a career they\u2019d like to one day pursue. Walgreens has been one of the college\u2019s most generous supporters, and I can\u2019t thank them enough for their generous gift.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition, Walgreens, the nation\u2019s largest drugstore chain, has awarded the college a $10,000 grant to fund student initiatives and support the college\u2019s diversity efforts. The company earlier this year committed to donating more than $1 million annually to support diversity initiatives at the nation’s pharmacy schools. Each of the 111 accredited colleges of pharmacy across the country will receive $10,000 every year to aid their efforts at increasing diversity among pharmacy school students.<\/p>\n

Elaine Boateng, a third-year pharmacy student, received the first Walgreens Diversity Scholarship.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Walgreens scholarship gift will allow young students to pursue their dreams of becoming pharmacists and working as a part of a comprehensive health-care team,\u201d Early said. \u201cBy supporting diversity, Walgreens is helping to secure a place for all students in pharmacy education.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
