Week Four: We Are MUSC Pharmacy Alumni and Donors

MUSC pharmacy alumni and donors are our greatest ambassadors, defining the importance and impact of an MUSC pharmacy education. Alumni and donors make a powerful and enduring contribution to our identity; the college simply would not be what it is, without their being by our side. Many have even made the ultimate statement of support, by remembering the college in their estate plans.
