The UNT Health Science Center celebrated the brand new UNT System College of Pharmacy (admitting students in the Fall of 2013) at its annual gala at the Worthington in Fort Worth on Nov.10. The new pharmacy school will be the first one in North Texas and the first pharmacy school in the state to be located on a health science center campus, which will create richer medical and health care education and collaboration.

Noted Fort Worth Businessman Arnie Gachman was honored with the institution's Vision Award for his support and commitment to the UNT Health Science Center. In addition, Paula Perrone and family were honored for their support of the UNT System College of Pharmacy through scholarships and their pioneering spirit developing pharmaceuticals in Fort Worth.
