175th Anniversary Week
History
Founded in 1850, the Cincinnati College of Pharmacy holds the distinction of being the first pharmacy school established west of the Allegheny Mountains and remains one of the oldest pharmacy colleges in the United States. Chartered by the Ohio Legislature, the college operated as an independent institution for over a century before officially affiliating with the University of Cincinnati in July 1954.
A historic milestone occurred on June 6, 2007, when the college was renamed the James L. Winkle College of Pharmacy. This honor recognized a $10 million estate pledge from Jim Winkle, a proud alumnus from the Class of 1958. His contribution, announced publicly per his wishes in 2007, marked only the second time in UC’s history that a college was named in tribute to a donor.
For more than 175 years, the James L. Winkle College of Pharmacy has been a national leader in pharmaceutical education, pharmacy research, and clinical innovation. The college has trained generations of pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists whose work continues to shape the future of global healthcare
