Memories that last: Homecoming Weekend 2026

Pharmacy alumni gathered in Columbus October 9-10 for a weekend of celebration, professional development and community during the College of Pharmacy's 2026 Homecoming Weekend. 

Friday kicked off with the Pharmacy Alumni Board of Governors holding their annual fall meeting. The board discussed new ways to engage alumni through various opportunities, events and more. 

Shortly after, the Residency Anniversary Celebration Symposium celebrating 30 years of the college's Residency Program began. This day-long symposium gave attendees the chance to participate in the Alumni Learning Opportunity: Hot Topics in Pharmacy. Held in the Vrable Center for Pharmacy Excellence, alumni engaged in a full day dedicated to continuing education. 

That evening, alumni from across generations gathered at Hofbräuhaus Columbus for a social gathering. Attendees had the opportunity to reconnect with classmates, colleagues and friends. The Pharmacy Residency Program's 30th anniversary celebration continued with a ceremonial dinner while the Class of 1976 celebrated their 50th reunion at the Grand Event Center. 

The festivities continued Saturday as alumni and friends gathered at Parks Hall for the annual College of Pharmacy Alumni Society Homecoming Tailgate. Attendees enjoyed food, fellowship and family-friendly activities before heading to Ohio Stadium to cheer on the Buckeyes during their Homecoming matchup against Maryland.
