CHSU College of Pharmacy Receives $10,000 Walgreens Diversity Donation

During a visit to the CHSU College of Pharmacy campus, Walgreens representatives Bryan Garcia, Healthcare Supervisor for the Central Valley CA – Area 46 and Hayley Park, Regional Healthcare Director, presented President, Florence Dunn and Provost and Interim Dean of Pharmacy, Dr. Wendy Duncan, with a Walgreens Diversity Donation of $10,000 for the 2015-16 academic year. The donation is to support CHSU’s efforts to increase diversity among student pharmacists, especially in the Hispanic/Latino population, which is the most underrepresented ethnicity in the field of pharmacy. For many years, Walgreens has shown a strong commitment to supporting programs and initiatives which foster diversity and inclusion within the pharmacy profession and the communities they serve. CHSU will utilize this donation to provide scholarships to students and to further develop and enhance outreach programs and campus activities to ensure diversity and inclusion within the College of Pharmacy.
For the 2014-15 academic year, CHSU College of Pharmacy was proud to award a $2,000 Walgreens Diversity and Inclusion Excellence Award to one student who embraced and promoted diversity and inclusion initiatives on campus. Five other students were awarded $600 Walgreens Diversity scholarships for representing diversity and having an interest in community pharmacy.
