During the ceremony, President Monahan thanked Mr. Manoukian for donating $250,000 to create the state-of-the-art computer center.

“This generous gift will directly benefit the many pharmacy, nursing and physician assistant students who use this facility every day,” he said. “We are especially pleased that it comes from a New Hampshire pharmacist who is also a leader in the community.”
