The Duquesne University School of Pharmacy will celebrate its 100th anniversary during
the 2024-2025 academic year. Throughout the year, we encourage you to connect with
our history and celebrate the ways the School of Pharmacy has played an important
role in our lives and communities.
A Message from the Dean
Dr. James K. Drennen, III., Dean, School of Pharmacy
As we approach this centennial celebration, I am filled with pride reflecting on our
legacy of excellence in pharmacy education, research, and service. Since our founding
in 1925, the School of Pharmacy has prepared generations of pharmacists to be community
leaders and empowered pharmacists. For 100 years, our students have been advancing
patient care and improving health outcomes. It’s easy to see the significant impact
that our graduates have made to the profession in the last century. The School of
Pharmacy has fostered a culture of innovation and discovery by embracing new technologies
and approaches to pharmacy practice.
Throughout the 2024-2025 academic year, we will reflect on our history, celebrate
our achievements, and plan the future of the School of Pharmacy. Be sure to mark your
calendars for April 4-5, 2025, when we will host a weekend-long celebration on campus
for alumni, students, and friends of the School of Pharmacy. Together, we will make
this a successful year of fundraising and celebration as we set the stage for the
next century of excellence in pharmacy.
