Help Make Our New House a Home

This is the slogan adopted by the College of Pharmacy as we seek assistance in retrofitting the newly acquired property which is to house the College of Pharmacy.

This 132,000 square-foot, 3 floor structure was built just a few years ago by the State Farm Insurance Company when it had a regional office in Monroe. After State Farm moved their offices from Monroe, this beautiful structure was acquired for use by the College of Pharmacy at an extremely reasonable price.

We now face the challenge of retrofitting and renovating this building in order to render it fully effective for the purposes of the College of Pharmacy. This means installing classrooms, laboratories, study areas and a student resource center (among many other features).

Class Act

Alumnus Monty Ingram (Class of 78) has proposed a challenge among the various annual classes of graduates from the College of Pharmacy. We will be keeping track of dollars donated by members of each year's class and will regularly publish the status. There will be an annual competition, tallied each year at homecoming to determine the winning class in terms of total dollars donated, number of class graduates donating, and number of visits to the ULM campus each year.


Vision 2010

The College of Pharmacy is envisioning by the year 2010 to have developed the pharmacy building on Bienville Drive into a complete and fully functional College of Pharmacy.

Key features of the vision include:

  • renovation of the Bienville Drive building
  • establishment of a faculty development endowment
  • establishment and maintenance of a College of Pharmacy Student and Resource Center
  • purchase of on-site facilities at LSU Medical Center in Shreveport and LSU Medical Center-South
  • a pharmaceutical care teaching and development lab
  • a pharmacy student emergency fund endowment

Further information about each of these will appear in future issues of the College of Pharmacy quarterly "Le Pharmacien Louisianais".
