2026 Donor Impact Celebration: Making dreams a reality

On Nov. 6, alumni, donors and friends gathered alongside students, faculty and staff for the College of Pharmacy's annual Donor Impact Celebration at CoverMyMeds, a health care technology company in downtown Columbus.

The event provided an opportunity for scholarship recipients and their benefactors to connect and learn firsthand about the impact of philanthropic support at the college. Speakers highlighted several donor-supported initiatives, including Partner for Promotion, AI and research and service-learning trips, recognizing the significant role of philanthropic contributions.

Deanna Kroetz, PhD, BS Pharm ’85, dean and professor at The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy, concluded the program by reflecting on the lasting value of donor investments. She emphasized that supporting the college is an investment in the next generation of pharmacists, scientists, researchers and healthcare leaders.
