Purdue College of Pharmacy receives $1-million gift

A $1-million gift for Purdue’s College of Pharmacy will help provide financial support to students and create a world-class facility for the program.

The money comes from alumna JeanAnne Chaney and her husband James, through the Chaney Family Foundation.

It will establish the Pacesetter Endowment for Pharmacy to provide scholarships for undergraduate or professional students enrolled in the College of Pharmacy.

The endowment also will support construction of a new building for the college or the renovation and expansion of existing structures.

The Chaneys are hoping others will add to the Pacesetter Endowment or create their own endowment for the same purpose.

JeanAnne Chaney earned her bachelor's degree in pharmaceutical sciences from Purdue in 1961.
