For more than 33 years, Dr. James McAuley has shaped the College of Pharmacy through his deep commitment to teaching, mentorship and leadership in student wellness and community building. As a professor, preceptor and associate dean for student success, he has guided generations of Pharmacy Buckeyes – supporting them academically, caring for them personally and inspiring a culture where every student can thrive.

As Dr. McAuley prepares to retire at the end of May, we invite you to honor his remarkable legacy by investing in the students and future of the profession he so dearly served.

Students have always been at the center of Dr. McAuley’s work, and scholarships remain one of his highest priorities. In recognition of his service to the college, we invite you to make a gift to the College of Pharmacy General Scholarship Fund in his honor. Your gift—at any level—will directly support student scholarships for the next generation of Pharmacy Buckeyes.

Join us in continuing the work of a teacher, mentor, advocate and community builder whose impact on our college and students is extraordinary. Together, we can carry Dr. McAuley’s legacy forward and empower future students to learn, lead and build community—just as he taught them.

Be sure to mark “gift in honor of" while making your gift and Dr. McAuley will be notified of your donation in his honor.
