Pharmacy Alumni Answer the Call to Vaccinate Orange County
UCI needed to quickly establish and staff clinics to vaccinate large numbers of elderly and at-risk individuals.
“COVID-19 touched our lives in many ways this past year. And yet, because of the unwavering commitment of our alumni and friends, we surpassed the halfway mark of our Brilliant Future campaign with over $1 billion raised and nearly 50,000 alumni engaged. We have one billion reasons to thank you. Your tremendous investments made thus far in UCI and UCI Health are truly transforming healthcare and wellness, accelerating world-changing research, supporting more students in their pursuit of the American dream, and allowing us to further our exploration of the human experience. What we have accomplished already is thrilling – and we are only halfway there.”
Chancellor Howard Gillman
