This spring, the Ohio State University College of Pharmacy hosted a Donor Impact Celebration and Open House for the Vrable Center for Pharmacy Excellence. The event welcomed faculty, staff, students, alumni and donors to recognize the impact of philanthropy at the college. Attendees included many who contributed to the completion of the Vrable Center, as well as several longtime supporters of student scholarships.
The Vrable Center adds 22,000 square feet of new learning and collaboration space to the northeast corner of the first and second floors of the Riffe Building. Meijer made a significant donation in support of this new space, helping advance the college’s vision for a modern learning environment.
The expansion includes the Dr. Robert J. and Barbara Weber Classroom and a third active-learning classroom. Similar to the Meijer Pharmacy Classroom on the first floor of Riffe, the project’s earliest renovation, both new classrooms feature active-learning technology, with flexible furniture, whiteboards and digital screens designed to give every student a front-row seat.
Attending from Meijer were Meijer Pharmacy district manager, Jessica Cline and Team Lead of Meijer Pharmacy retail, Maggie Watson. They are pictured with Meijer First Pharmacists Endowed Scholarship Fund recipient, Genevieve Baidoo.
