CVS Caremark completes SOP pledge
CVS Caremark Charitable Trust has presented the School of Pharmacy with the final installment toward a $250,000, five-year pledge.
Mandy Kwong, manager of professional and college relations for CVS Caremark Corp., presented a check for the final $50,000 installment to SOP Dean Victor Yanchick.
The pledge goes to the CVS Learning Resource Endowment which, Yanchick explained, provides funding to support the information technology infrastructure for the School of Pharmacy’s Inova Campus.
“We are grateful to CVS Caremark’s significant support,” said Michael Clarke, assistant dean for the Inova Campus. “Technology infrastructure development is critical to the success of distance education initiatives like the Inova Campus. This investment in technology keeps students and faculty on the different campuses connected and bolsters the overall educational experience as we incorporate more learner-centered instructional methods.”
“We are excited to have this opportunity to continue to strengthen our partnership with Virginia Commonwealth University and the opportunity to support your students as they pursue their pharmacy education,” wrote Papatya Tankut in a letter to Yanchick. “I look forward to continuing to strive for excellence together.” Tankut is vice president of pharmacy professional services for CVS/pharmacy.
