College of Pharmacy dedicated in memory of URI alumnus

The University of Rhode Island College of Pharmacy renamed its building in the memory of Paramaz Avedisian, a 1954 URI graduate who was known as a true professional in pharmacy and a philanthropist who never hesitated to lend a helping hand.

Avedisian’s impressive life career was documented by URI videographer Betty-Jo Cugini, whose video debuted during the dedication ceremony Oct. 16. Check out the video below, and click here for full coverage of the dedication.
