The Distinguished Alumni Award was established by the Campbell University College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences (CPHS) Alumni Association Board of Directors to recognize and celebrate the achievements of Campbell’s doctor of pharmacy graduates that have demonstrated exemplary achievement in any type of organization (i.e. education, government, private, civic, non-profit, corporate, entrepreneurial, etc.), while helping to build and maintain a community of alumni, students, faculty and friends that enhances the professional, personal and academic development of CPHS alumni and students.
This award is the highest of honors and will only be awarded when the board feels that the recipient has gone above and beyond in demonstrating the qualities the award deserves. The Distinguished Alumni Award may be presented to an individual annually and at least every five years.
