Carl and Joyce Lyons Endowment in the College of Pharmacy
This endowment was established through the kind generosity of Carl and Joyce Lyons to provide scholarships to students in the OU doctor of pharmacy program attending in Tulsa. As long-time residents of Tulsa, Carl and Joyce established an enduring rapport with the community. They have been extensively involved with several civic organizations and been dedicated to enhancing communications among healthcare professionals in Tulsa and northeastern Oklahoma. Carl is a 1960 graduate of the OU College of Pharmacy and has provided strong support and leadership for the college as well as the pharmacy profession since his graduation. Carl's wife Joyce is also a graduate of The University of Oklahoma and she, along with their two daughters Cindy and Linda, are Registered Nurses and involved in nursing education.
The establishment of this scholarship is fully compatible with the activities and goals of Carl and Joyce in promoting Tulsa and the college and in facilitating interactions between OU and its College of Pharmacy and the Tulsa community. Carl, as Assistant Dean for Outreach Communications for the College of Pharmacy in Tulsa, has been instrumental in aiding the expansion of the OU doctor of pharmacy degree program to The Schusterman Center.
