Philip O. Anderson, Pharm. D.
UCSD, has received the first private gift to support the new UCSD School of Pharmacy from Philip O. Anderson, Pharm. D. The gift will be used to establish a current use fund to assist with the construction and equipping of the Drug Informatics Laboratory, the operations of the Drug Informatics Laboratory and the building for the new School of Pharmacy.

Dr. Anderson is the Director of the Drug Information Service at UCSD Healthcare. He has been with the Department of Pharmacy for 26 years. Dr. Anderson was born and raised in Watsonville, California and is a graduate of the UCSF School of Pharmacy.

When asked why he chose to make a gift to UCSD, Dr. Anderson replied, "Pharmacy has been good to me. The new UCSD School of Pharmacy presents a once in a lifetime opportunity to help shape a brand new school that is destined for excellence in educating future practitioners and leaders in the profession."

Support from the state of California, once provided most of the University's budget. However, today, the University relies more than ever on private support to maintain its excellence. Priorities essential for the new School of Pharmacy include: endowment and operating funds, building funds, financial aid for students, faculty, research and programmatic support, the campus environment, and unrestricted funds.

Dr. Anderson's generous gift and other gifts such as his will make the New UCSD School of Pharmacy a reality. UCSD Health Sciences is forever grateful to Dr. Anderson for his commitment and generous support.
