Dear Friends and Colleagues,
November marks the one-year anniversary of the historic announcement of our school’s renaming and transformative $50 million endowment.
Thank you to everyone for an incredible first year as the USC Alfred E. Mann School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences as we continue to work toward our mission of advancing health through excellence in pharmacy education, research and practice.
Together we’re improving community health, advancing scientific research and breakthroughs, preparing new generations of leaders, and creating a more equitable and sustainable health landscape.
At USC Mann, our name has changed, but our mission remains steadfast: to advance health through pharmacy education, research and practice. Thank you for your support, which helps make it all possible.
Sincerely,
