Chapman University School of Pharmacy congratulates Rachita Sumbria, Ph.D., of the Department of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences (BPS), on being recognized with two prestigious alumni honors from her graduate alma mater, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC).
Dr. Sumbria received both awards at a special ceremony held in Lubbock, Texas, on October 16, 2026.
The two honors recognize Dr. Sumbria’s distinguished career and contributions to the health care profession:

- 2026 TTUHSC Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences Distinguished Alumni Award, which recognizes alumni who have made meaningful contributions to their fields and brought distinction to themselves, the graduate school, and the university.
Receiving both the university’s highest alumni honor and the graduate school’s distinguished alumni award in the same year is an exceptional achievement. Together, these recognitions reflect Dr. Sumbria’s broad impact on the health care profession and her specific contributions to pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences.
Congratulations to Dr. Sumbria!
