Update my information

From the Dean

It's hard to believe we’re already nearing the end of the fall semester, with our students actively participating in events for Veteran’s Month, Rural Health Month, and Diabetes Awareness Month—all while looking forward to a well-earned Thanksgiving break. We're especially excited for four of our students, who will have the experience of a lifetime as they march with the Carolina Band in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade! I hope you’ll tune in Thanksgiving morning to catch their performance in Herald Square.

This Thanksgiving season, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your steadfast support and dedication to our college, students, faculty, and staff. Your contributions make a profound difference, and I wish you and your family a truly joyful and restful Thanksgiving holiday.

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