“Jeanie (his wife) and I are pleased to share our success with the Southwestern Oklahoma State University College of Pharmacy,” Jones said. “It is our desire to continue this strong tradition of education in pharmacy for a better tomorrow. We invite others who have benefited from a Southwestern education to express their gratitude by joining our efforts.”
Jones said he decided to make the donation because he wanted to give to something that has given so much to him. The Tulia (TX) product was active in Kappa Psi pharmacy fraternity when he was at SWOSU. He and his wife have two sons – Dillon and Truett.
Southwestern College of Pharmacy campaign is focusing on scholarships, education and technology, pharmacy history, and endowed chairs/professorships/lectureships. For additional information about contributing to the Southwestern Pharmacy Foundation, contact us.
