CHSU College of Pharmacy Receives $12,000 Walgreens Diversity Donation

During a visit to the CHSU College of Pharmacy campus, Walgreens representatives Hayley Park, PharmD, MBA, Regional Healthcare Director and Bryan Garcia, PharmD, Healthcare Supervisor for the Central Valley CA – Area 46, presented Provost and Interim Dean of Pharmacy, Dr. Wendy Duncan, with a Walgreens Diversity Donation of $12,000 for the 2016-17 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.
