Honor Clubs
Annual support at every level is crucial to maintaining the quality of the UI College of Pharmacy's programs. The college has established honor clubs to recognize individuals who provide generous annual support to the Pharmacy Opportunity Fund and other college-wide resources.
This year is a very special year for the College of Pharmacy as we celebrate our 125th anniversary! In 1885 the “State University of Iowa” (UI’s original name) began to educate pharmacists through its newly established College of Pharmacy. In tribute to that very significant chapter in our past, the College has embarked on a very exciting new initiative……the creation of the '1885 Society'.
The 1885 Society will help further continue a long and rich history of high quality education and training by creating a link to students that provides unique and personal opportunities for mentoring and professional development. It is envisioned that the 1885 Society will also serve as the “grassroots” vehicle to facilitate an even greater level of engagement of alumni and friends in a wide array of professional and social activities. The program is the first of its kind in the United States.
In honor of our anniversary, we invite you to join the 1885 Society, a new recognition club for our most loyal and engaged alumni and friends. This society will enrich our long history of high-quality education and training by linking students to distinctive and personal opportunities for mentoring and professional development. It also will foster an even greater level of engagement between the college and its alumni and friends by offering you a wide array of professional and social activities.
