In Memoriam
​

​K.C. Huynh-Dang, PharmD

Department Chair, Pharmacy Technology (2006-2017)

May 25, 1972 – April 30, 2017

Dr. KC Huynh-Dang, PharmD, came to Santa Ana College in January 2006 and from day one, she cared deeply about her work and most importantly, the students in this accredited program. She was on the move, continually building the Pharmacy Technology program, working with the industry, outside agencies and Pharmacy professionals to ensure that her students acquired "real world" experience necessary to secure their career once completing the program. She tirelessly worked on acquiring grants to update the program's curriculum and acquire the most up-to-date lab equipment for the college's stellar program. When she had to give up her position to go on medical leave, she was working on securing a clean room for the Pharmacy lab classroom. That dream is moving forward now.

When KC passed away in April 2017, we were all heartbroken and at a loss. KC's family has created a memorial scholarship in her honor. This affirms KC's commitment to student success through this amazing endowed memorial scholarship. KC's family wants to continue in KC's footsteps by inspiring Pharmacy Technology students in their career.  Seeing the faces of those students who will be recipients of the Dr. KC Huynh-Dang Memorial Scholarship and hearing about their dreams will keep KC's memory alive and well, as it should always be.​
