Philanthropist Carol H. Retzky to Receive Honorary Degree

Carol Retzky, along with her late husband Herbert, owned pharmacies in Chicago most of their working lives. They were leaders in their community and within the profession of pharmacy. Carol recently lost Herb at the age of 93. In the last decade, they’ve become philanthropists in the Oak Park area as well as to UIC, Herb’s alma mater (Class of 1946). Both Carol and Herb came from families with pharmacy backgrounds. Herb’s father passed away while he was a senior in high school forcing him to go to pharmacy school so the family could make ends meet. Carol’s father and brother were both pharmacy owners as well.

Our People

Class of 2017

Jordan Burkholder

Choosing the Rockford Campus...was a perfect fit. Getting a superior education while being close to my family and friends is priceless.

Class of 2015

Jenelle Beyer

I have been a part of a large, supportive family the past four years.

Class of 2016

Jamie Hale

I chose to go to the Rockford campus because it is smaller and more intimate.

Class of 2017

Jewel Sophia Younge

I chose UIC, primarily, for the videotaped lectures. Although I try never to miss class, I love that I can go home and re-listen to lectures.

Alum

Dustin Cavida

Being in Rockford was the greatest experience I could ever ask for!

Why UIC? Because our students are given the foundation to pursue their dreams.

Last year, our residency match rate was 77%.

Our NAPLEX pass rate was 94.49%, 4% above the national average.

There’s always room in our legacy for more great minds and caring hearts, whether you’re a student, professor, preceptor, or supporter of our mission.
