Walgreen Co. has donated  $50,000 to Drake University's College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences to assist in the renovation the Donald F. Davidson Pharmacy Practice Laboratory in Fitch Hall.

The gift will help the college provide students with the most up-to-date resources by creating a new over-the-counter product space within the Davidson Practice Lab that will bear the Walgreens name, in recognition of the company's generous support.

"The growing number of over-the-counter products requires that pharmacists have advanced skills in assessing a patient's needs and directing them to the appropriate medications," said Raylene Rospond, dean of the college. "The Walgreens Nonprescription Product Center will provide an exceptional environment in which students can develop these skills."

This gift is  an important piece in the overall plans to renovate the practice laboratory into a contemporary pharmacy  setting. The other portions of the major renovation  are being accomplished through a gift from Donald F. Davidson for whom the laboratory is named. The lab is scheduled to be completed by spring 2009.

Renovation plans include:

• expansion of laboratory space
• replacement of lab benches with mobile individual work units for drug dispensing, patient counseling and assessment
• creation of space for drug distribution system examples found in community, long-term care and hospital pharmacy settings
• creation of the Walgreen Nonprescription Product Center and
• installation of new audiovisual technology, making the lab a true electronic classroom.

The renovated lab will help the college continue to meet the evolving standards set by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education for the education of pharmacists. The lab will provide students with the opportunity to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills in the laboratory experience.

Drake has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with Walgreens. In the 2006-07 academic year, more than 100 pharmacy students trained with Walgreens in early practice experiences and advanced experimental rotations.

Drake pharmacy graduates continue to hold a range of positions with Walgreens from entry level to management to top leadership.  Former CEO and major Drake benefactor L. Dan Jorndt is a 1963 graduate.
