Toward Longer, More Productive Lives

Accelerating Discovery Because Your Quality of Life Matters

The University of Kansas School of Pharmacy is at the forefront of building more healthy and vibrant communities. Pharmacists are highly skilled and trusted medication experts who are passionate about making a difference in people’s lives. Often pharmacists are the most accessible health care providers in communities. Whether they’re dispensing medicine to patients or advising health care professionals on the selection and use of medication, the work of pharmacists is unmistakably linked to our quality of life.

At the KU School of Pharmacy, four distinct disciplines — medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmacology and toxicology and pharmacy practice — come together to create a collaborative hub for drug discovery and development. With academically talented students, exceptional faculty and the best and brightest researchers, the school is committed to making inspired discoveries to improve health and quality of life. Together, we bring new knowledge to the world that truly impacts patients in a positive way. Everyone plays a pivotal role in KU Pharmacy’s success.

By supporting our desire to offer more support and resources for students, faculty research and facility enhancement, you will make it possible for us to continue to educate the pharmacists who serve the people of Kansas and beyond, alongside the researchers who help solve the world’s most pressing medical problems. More than that, you will help us continue to prepare the next generation of pharmacy leaders while seeking breakthroughs that lead to longer, more productive lives.

PARTNERING WITH US

Now is the time to make a transformative gift to the School of Pharmacy to address the following priorities:

Enhancing labs and creating additional spaces for collaboration and drug discoveries

Research needs and space requirements in the biomedical sciences have changed substantially in recent years, and state-of-the-art research facilities are essential for advancing our leadership position in drug discovery and development. The School of Pharmacy partners with KU Cancer Center and the KU Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center and additional specialized research spaces will speed pharmaceutical innovation.

Providing support for scholarships and funds to enrich student learning

Our students are some of the most academically gifted and talented on campus. They stand out not only academically, but also in terms of leadership and community service. Additional scholarship support will help KU Pharmacy continue to attract exceptional scholars, involve them in research and enable them to participate in the rich pharmaceutical tradition of professional development through knowledge exchange at conferences and community service. This financial support is crucial to student success.

Fueling innovation through resources for faculty researchers

School of Pharmacy faculty members are leaders in their fields and produce transformative research, turning what they do in the lab into solutions to enhance health. The ability to recruit the best scientific minds in the world to our program raises the stature of our school and university. Academic support to foster continued leading-edge research with an emphasis on drug discovery and development is vital to find new ways to manage life-threatening diseases.
