A much-anticipated moment

In 1971, Carly Simon released the Grammy-winning song “Anticipation.” Our anticipation of a new facility began around the same time the song was released.

Defining moments: the stories behind the plaques

Named areas are one of the most exciting components of an academic facility. It brings the history and tradition of the college into the daily activities of every member of the MUSC pharmacy family, keeping those donors involved in the institution they love. If you are interested in learning more about additional naming opportunities within the new building, please reach out to Megan Theiling Draper, CFRE, at draperm@musc.edu.

Building on Tradition

Daughter Christy Cooper Whitlock ’90 followed in his footsteps, joining the Building Leadership Committee as a founding member and catalyzing a $1.5 million lead gift from the Cooper family.
