The Allen I. White lectureship started when an endowed fund was established in 1979 by family, friends and colleagues in memory of Dr. Allen I. White, professor at the college from 1940 to 1979, and dean from 1960 to 1979. Dr. White was also active in national pharmacy associations. These endowed funds are used to bring to any WSU campus, distinguished lecturers whose work is related to, or has important implications for the scientific, social or political aspects of pharmacy or related matters.

This lecture will be presented virtually via Zoom. College students, faculty, and staff can find the Zoom information in the Outlook calendar invite to the event. If you have any questions please contact pharmacy.gocougs@wsu.edu.
