Wegmans School of Pharmacy

Transforming Pharmacy Education, Expanding Community Impact


The Wegmans School of Pharmacy combines foundational science, hands-on clinical pharmacy practice and service to the community to produce empathetic, patient-centered pharmacists for all communities. From international service trips to fourth-year clinical rotations in the local community, pharmacy students work as part of an interdisciplinary team to provide pharmacy care services, patient counseling, and vital medication to their patients in all practice settings. Your gift directly supports these efforts, both in the classroom and beyond, to make a lasting impact on public health in our communities.

The Power of Your Support

Your generosity fuels:

  • Innovative Programs – Enhancing Pharm.D. education through campus and online pathways that blend coursework with real-world clinical rotations.
  • Global Medical Missions – Expanding opportunities for students to serve in international health clinics, gaining invaluable practical experience.
  • Research Excellence – Funding faculty-led clinical and scientific research, positioning students for competitive residencies and advanced career paths.
  • Professional Growth – Sustaining student organizations like the American Pharmacists Association, fostering leadership, advocacy, and community outreach.
