Friends: The following reflection is from President Westmoreland’s weekly reflection “Monday Mission”.

McWhorter School of Pharmacy is transforming lives in many ways:

Our Story

Bruce Foster is the director of external relations and admissions for the McWhorter School of Pharmacy.  Because McWhorter draws students from throughout the United States (and the world), Bruce often greets prospective students who know nothing of Birmingham.  When Bruce realized that one recent guest from Minnesota wanted to gain an appreciation for our community, but was going to take his tour via taxi, he loaded the young man's bags in his own vehicle, acquainted him with the great sites of Birmingham (with sparkling commentary, no doubt), and deposited him safely at the airport for his flight home.

The world is better because of Bruce Foster.

  3. Friends,
    The McWhorter admissions team continues to receive accolades internally and externally. Read the message below from one of the 2011 admissions-cycle applicants. We like to believe this applicant's kind thoughts and words regarding our school and its people are shared by hundreds of new faces that cross the threshold of Ingalls Hall every admissions cycle.

    "Dear Jon Parker,
    I do (however) want you to know that the application process, and most
    notably the interview process, was the BEST I experienced. You and
    everyone I met that day (at the McWhorter School of Pharmacy) could not have been any nicer.
    Even beyond the beautiful campus and the outstanding faculty, your school had a great
    sense of unity. You were very welcoming from the minute I stepped in the door."

    Again, let us hear from you if you know or encounter others who have been transformed by MSOP in similar ways.
