Online resource brings Pharmacy grad photos at your fingertips

Take a stroll down digital memory lane with a century's worth of grad photos

Brett Lambert - 08 August 2017

Pharmacy has gone through significant changes and innovations over the last century, and the University of Alberta's Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences has played an important role in those changes, be it locally, nationally, or internationally. The individuals who have led the changes are the thousands of graduates - past, present and future - who have passed through the halls of the U of A.

Thanks to cutting edge technology provided with the help of Oglen Solutions, a century of Pharmacy grad photos that currently line the walls of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences within the Medical Sciences Building have been digitized and made fully searchable in our new grad photo database.

"We think our alumni and friends of the Faculty will find this database an invaluable resource," says Dr. Neal Davies, dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. "Whether they are looking up a photo of their classmates, a former professor, or simply want to take in all the names and faces of the pharmacists who have come before and after them, we are proud to make this available."

The database allows you to search by year, first name/initials, and last name spanning the first class of 1914-1915 up to the present day. The database should be of interest to alumni of any era, their family and friends, historians, and anyone else with an interest in the Faculty.

This online database also complements our newly installed digital kiosk outside of the Dean's Office on the 2nd floor of the Medical Sciences Building, where you can search these grad photos using an interactive touchscreen.
