When we started this campaign, we asked a number of donors to tell us about their experiences at purdue, and why they wanted to give back to the University and the College of Pharmacy. Below you will find their stories.
Mary M. Losey's family originally came to West Lafayette when her father joined the faculty, but when he passed away between her freshman and sophomore years of college, her mother began working for Purdue. Her family's income and all of her education thus came courtesy of Purdue. "I received scholarships to make it possible for me to attend Purdue, so I feel an obligation to share what I have saved with upcoming Purdue Pharmacy students," says Mary. "Someone helped me, and now it's my turn to help someone else. I believe we should share our success." This is exactly why Mary chose to make a planned gift to the College. Although she supports Purdue through annual gifts, she wanted to make a larger contribution that would have a lasting impact, so she has designated her gift of the future to support pharmacy scholarships. "I hope my scholarship will help students lighten their very heavy financial loads."
