Alumni Awards
The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy Alumni Association presents two alumni awards each year.
Nominate someone here for an award.
The Samuel B. Burrus Family Award for Community Service
The Burrus Family Award is given to an alum (or to a partnership in which at least one member is an alum) of the School in recognition of outstanding and unselfish civic, community, or church volunteer service outside the scope of regular pharmacy practice. Occasionally the award may be given to a pharmacist functioning in the public interest at the state or national level.
Recipients receive one monetary award for themselves and one monetary award for a charity of their choice.
Nomination Criteria:
- Graduate of the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy
- History of community service, including engagement with non-profits, schools, churches and other organizations not necessarily related to the practice of pharmacy
