Another option for giving is the Dufilho Society.  Louis J. Dufilho was the first individual licensed pharmacist not only in the state of Louisiana, but the entire United States.  He operated a pharmacy located in New Orleans.  We are proud of the rich and exciting history of our state and hope you will join us in sharing that pride through this society.

Funds generated by the society will be utilized to maintain and improve areas of special needs such as supplementation of the holdings of the Drug Information Center, implementation of pharmaceutical care and patient counseling student development activities, software for computer-assisted teaching and student development activities.  We do recognize the importance of planning for the future with the belief that the trend toward additional needs for private support will continue.  Therefore, depending on the needs in any particular year, we will be placing 25-50% of funds derived through this program into an endowment which will generate interest that can be used for the priority needs of the College.

Finally, you may also give by Named Gift Options.  This allows you to make a donation to the College of Pharmacy and subsequently have a portion of the building named in your honor or that of a loved one.  We are pleased to announce in 2008 our student resource center/computer lab became the Kitty DeGree Student Resource Center.
