David Chu, PhD ’75, said he and his wife, Jane Chu ’75, “fulfilled the American dream,” thanks to their education from UB Pharmacy. Both retired from the University of Georgia, the Chus created a family foundation with their physician daughters, Susan and Jaclyn. Their gift to UB established scholarships and an annual lecture series.

Matthew Schnupp, one of five Chu Scholarship recipients, is 2012 class president and a PharmD candidate. He said the Chus’ “gracious donation” allowed him to explore career options in pharmacy practice. “I want to help ensure patient medication safety and improve therapeutic outcomes without sacrificing a patient’s quality of life,” he said.

Amy Suen, a 2014 PharmD candidate, also will seek work with “a focus on medication safety and effectiveness.” Given the decrease in available financial aid, she is “very thankful” for the Chus’ support, which makes it possible for her and many future UB students to complete their education and fulfill dreams of their own.
