The University of Charleston School of Pharmacy shared a social media post from Feb. 2016 about Betty White’s involvement at UC. The University said Dr. Edwin Welch, president of the University of Charleston at the time, invited White to receive an honorary degree in 1991. White surprised everyone by accepting and attending the commencement ceremony, and she returned for visits two other times. One of those was for a fundraising event for the Clay Tower Building and the other time was to dedicate it. UC also has an endowed scholarship in Betty White’s name.
