During his tenure, Gaskins was a preceptor and mentor to hundreds of WSU student pharmacists and continues to offer advice and counsel today. Proceeds from this event will fund a William and Felicia Gaskins Scholarship at the WSU College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
We will also be honoring our 2019 Mentor, Preceptors and Alumnus of the Year and celebrating the class reunions for 1959, 1969, 1979, 1989, 1999, and 2009.

Alumni benefits
As alumni of the WSU College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, you are automatically part of the CougaRx Nation! As part of our “pharmily,” you are invited to attend our college events and we encourage you to use these opportunities to network with your fellow Coug pharmacists and get to know our future Coug pharmacists. Cougs help Cougs, as our alumni are known to say!
The college now has an Online Continuing Education Center hosted by the World Continuing Education Alliance (WCEA). All pharmacists can access online pharmacy continuing education though the college’s education portal at wsu.wcea.education.
We also encourage you to participate in the CougsFirst! network, the Cougar Athletic Fund, and take advantage of the member benefits from the WSU Alumni Association.
