Saturday, October 15, 2005. Purdue University celebrated its annual Homecoming with a Celebration on the Purdue Mall from 9 to 11 a.m. This family-friendly event included hands-on activities by Purdue schools, colleges, and departments, live entertainment, favorite foods, and a chance for alumni to reconnect with faculty and former classmates.
The School of Pharmacy's traditional tailgate lunch was a huge success, capped by the welcome and the announcement by President Martin C. Jischke of CVS Pharmacy's commitment to name the CVS Pharmacy Practice Laboratory in the School of Pharmacy.
CVS also co-sponsored the tailgate tent, along with the Pharmacy Alumni Association. Hundreds of alumni and their families enjoyed a pre-game picnic lunch and were treated to live music from the nearby main stage. Other than the outcome of the football game, it was a picture perfect day!
