Williams Science Hall. The couple also were among the principal benefactors of the UNMC Center for Drug Discovery and Lozier Center for Pharmacy Sciences and Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joe Williams, a pharmacy alumnus who died in 2021 and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery, was a towering figure in the pharmaceutical industry, having led industry giants Parke-Davis and Warner-Lambert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe gave the University of Nebraska tremendous credit that he was able to land his first job at the largest pharmaceutical company in the country,\u201d Millie Williams said. \u201cHe never forgot that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For decades, the Williamses strove to give back to UNMC\u2019s College of Pharmacy, meeting students, taking an interest in faculty and befriending every dean. The Williams name is found throughout the new and former pharmacy buildings. Joe was a driving force behind the college\u2019s first endowed faculty chair, the Parke-Davis Chair in Pharmaceutics, currently held by David Oupicky, PhD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, Joe Williams left the college an estate gift of $20 million, through the foundation\u2019s Only in Nebraska: A Campaign for Our University\u2019s Future fundraising campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The transformational donation \u201callows the college to truly change its trajectory,\u201d said Keith Olsen, PharmD, Joseph D. Williams Endowed Dean of the UNMC College of Pharmacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s going to impact students for decades by reducing their financial burden from going to school. And the impact on students has another positive effect,\u201d Dr. Olsen said. \u201cStudents go to school here to learn how to take care of patients, and patients are going to be the ultimate recipients of that gift.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure
