The College of Pharmacy recently completed the installation of two new features: a Donor Recognition display and an Alumni Recognition display. Both are showcased in the lobby of the Pharmacy building in Memphis. This 15 month project is the college’s way of thanking the donors and alumni who continue to give and serve the college every year.
The Donor Recognition display features two areas. The first is the annual giving area recognizing those individuals, companies, and organizations giving $1,000 to $9,999 in that year. This panel will be updated annually to reflect new donors. Once a donor gives $10,000 or more, their name will be engraved on a corian plate and added to the permanent board. The permanent board is divided into categories beginning with $10,000 and capping at $1,000,000 plus. If the donor’s giving level increases, their plate will be moved to the higher category. There are also plates built in for growth of the board.
The Alumni Recognition display, complete with monitor, highlights the University of Tennessee College of Pharmacy alumni who have won the Distinguished Service to Pharmacy award and Outstanding Alumnus award, as well as Alumni Advisory Board presidents. The names of alumni who have won in the past will be printed on a removable sheet and updated annually. The screen will also display a picture and short biography of current/past award recipients and presidents.
