Carolyn Copenhaver (’16), a graduate of Lipscomb’s graduate certificate program in dietetics, is now working with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to help promote nutrition standards across the nation.

In a retail world full of big box stores and online merchants, it’s not common to see the neighborhood-based, community pharmacies spring up. Lipscomb’s College of Pharmacy, however, has seen 10 of its graduates strike out and start their own in the past decade.

Lipscomb University has launched its largest, most ambitious fundraising campaign in its 128-year history as it plans to reach the goal of $250 million in the next three years.

The James D. Hughes Center, a 23,500-square-foot building nestled between the Nursing and Health Science Center and the Pharmaceutical Sciences Research Center, was renovated this past summer to become the hub of all of Lipscomb’s health science programs on campus.

Nearly 1,000 people celebrated the Sunday launch of the final phase of what John Lowry, vice president for advancement, called “the largest and most ambitious campaign the university has ever undertaken.”
