The Dean’s Circle
Dean Mark Leid (above), class of 1983, invites you to join the Dean’s Circle in honor of your favorite dean or faculty member, and help the college continue to grow and meet its mission.
Club 1891 Dean’s Circle
Did you know that pharmacy was one of the first four areas of study at Washington State University?
Established in 1891, the program began only one year after WSU’s inception as a land-grant university. As the oldest pharmacy school in the state, we are proud of the legacy we have built together. In 1913, Jessie Senora Sims Walker made history when she was the first African American to graduate from the University and our college. In 1970 we established our Drug Information Center as a service to Washington and began our pilot program for students to work in Spokane hospitals. Today, we remain on the cutting edge of research in natural product-drug interaction, cancer, nanotechnology and much more, while educating student pharmacists who end up working in a variety of professions.
Help us progress into the future by joining our Club 1891 Dean’s Circle today.
