These awards are created with a specific purpose, such as memorializing a loved one. All of them, however, share the same pursuit of giving a financial hand up to students in need, to help educate and train the next generation of pharmacists.

Each year, the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) College of Pharmacy awards more than a half million dollars in scholarships to qualified students, representing a significant and sustained show of support from alumni, faculty, and friends of the college.

Standing 28 inches tall and weighing in at spry 90 pounds (fully furred!), Harry loves squeaky toys and whipped cream treats, but most importantly, he loves being petted!

Shortly after retiring as chief photographer for KATV Channel 7 in 2024, Marcus McDonald started having trouble breathing because of an aggressive form of lung cancer. He was told he had three to six months to live. Wanting to pursue all options, McDonald received chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and a new immunotherapy drug from Dr. Konstantinos Arnaoutakis, an oncologist at the UAMS Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute. With successful treatment behind him, McDonald is now on a mission to educate others about the risks of lung cancer and will deliver the invocation at the 6th annual Be a Part of the Cure Walk.

“I want people to know, no matter what comes at you, it’s going to be all right. Together, God and UAMS made it all right for me.” – Marcus McDonald, Little Rock

LITTLE ROCK — This month marks the one-year anniversary of remission for an Arkansas patient who has been battling major depression for more than 60 years, experiencing countless medications, interventions and sadly, multiple su***de attempts.
