Please join the College of Pharmacy in welcoming our new development director, Jeff Barton. Jeff joined the Institutional Advancement staff at UT in October 2008.

Go to College Scholarship which provides college opportunities to underrepresented Ohioans including first generation and economically disadvantaged students, as well as U.S. military veterans.

In 2006, Jeff began his development experience by founding the Miracle League of Northwest Ohio, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds for a barrier-free baseball field for kids with special needs.
