From the Dean's Desk

We are one month into the fall semester, and our pharmacy students are immersed in their academic journey. First-year students are adapting to the rigorous curriculum, while second- and third-year students explore diverse career paths within the field. Our fourth-year students are gaining invaluable hands-on experience through their clinical rotations.

We celebrated World Pharmacists Day on September 25, and I am reminded of the profound impact our alumni, donors, and friends have on the College of Pharmacy. Your contributions are instrumental in shaping these future pharmacists. Whether through financial support or dedicating your time to mentoring, precepting, and sharing your experiences, you play a crucial role in enriching our students' education.

Your generosity directly enhances learning opportunities that might otherwise be limited. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to our students and the future of pharmacy. Your support not only benefits our students, but it also strengthens our community.

Stephen J. Cutler, Ph.D.
Dean, College of Pharmacy
