ALBANY – The Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences raised $14.4 million in its first fundraising campaign, exceeding its $11 million goal.

Roughly $3.3 million will go toward scholarships, about $5 million will be used for campus renovations and over $6 million will be directed to the bridges to industry initiative through the Stack Family Center for Biopharmaceutical Education and Training (CBET), a news release said.

“The funds raised by this campaign enable ACPHS to enrich all aspects of the student experience and provide more pathways for students to be prepared to enter the ever-changing healthcare environment and biopharmaceutical industry,” ACPHS President Greg Dewey said.
