Herbert and Dorothy Langsam Endowment in the College of Pharmacy
In 1998, the Herbert and Dorothy Langsam Chair in Geriatric Pharmacy was finalized through the commitment of funds by the OU Regents to match the generous support of Mr. and Mrs. Langsam, creating a $1 million endowment to sustain this position in the College of Pharmacy. A goal of the Langsams is to help The University of Oklahoma College of Pharmacy strengthen its educational, research, and service efforts in geriatric pharmacy practice. Moreover, development of a nationally recognized program in the college will facilitate the acquisition of outside support for scholarly activities leading to an expansion of knowledge in this pharmacy specialty and, ultimately, an improvement in the quality of life for geriatric patients.
The Langsams are long-time residents of Oklahoma as well as graduates of The University of Oklahoma. Dorothy is a native of Okmulgee and Herb of New York City. A 1952 graduate, Herb has had a long-standing relationship with the College of Pharmacy and currently serves as a member of the college's National Advisory Board and as an adjunct faculty member in the college. He has held several offices with the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists and been recipient of many awards for civic and professional accomplishments, including the Distinguished Alumni Award from The University of Oklahoma College of Pharmacy Alumni Association.
