OUR HISTORY

MICHIGAN CELEBRATES 200 YEARS

2017 brings a monumental moment
in the life of our university – our
Bicentennial celebration. Over the course of
the year, we have celebrated U-M’s impact on
society and the people who helped shape the
leading institution we are today.

We also examined how our university will
continue to shape society in the future –
through the contributions of faculty, students,
staff, alumni, and supporters who make this
community so special. We held a year of public
festivals, academic events, and exhibits that
demonstrated the full breadth of our great
university’s influence.

When we were founded 200 years ago in
Detroit, the University of Michigan was an
ambitious experiment, a novel and noble idea
for higher education in America.

Because of all of you, we are now poised for
even greater accomplishments ahead, as the
leaders and best. Thank you for being part of
our community.

THE MICHIGAN DIFFERENCE

Since 1876, an education at the University of Michigan
College of Pharmacy has been a standard against which other
pharmacy programs are measured. We owe our success to two things: one of a kind
educational experiences, and our association with the University of Michigan —
known worldwide for its tradition of excellence and achievement.

Our College is a hub of intersecting basic, clinical, and social science disciplines,
leading research centers, scientific institutes and a research-intensive health
system that is consistently ranked among the best in the U.S. Our partners inside
and outside of the U-M include many of the world’s eminent thought-leaders and
innovators. Here, you will find top scientists in every imaginable discipline.

directly to these funds. These dollars will generate over $5 million for the College’s
scholarship, research, and other academic programs this year.

We can also celebrate achieving our $20 million goal as part of the
University’s “Victors for Michigan” campaign. The campaign officially
goes into 2018, so we are hoping to significantly surpass that goal!

More important than a dollar total is the impact that those dollars will
have. To date, 27 new scholarships have been created at the College,
we have new research funds, and a new endowed chair that will help
us attract and retain world class faculty.

Looking to the future, the prospect of a new building is more
than exciting! We will keep everyone abreast of our progress and
communicate how to become involved with this historic achievement.
