From the Dean's Desk

As the university's SAFE testing efforts continue, I am increasingly in awe of the exceptional commitment of our SAFE testing team, based in the College of Pharmacy. Our efforts have been recognized on a national level, as evidenced by comments made by Dr. Deborah Birx, Coronavirus Response Coordinator for the White House, during her recent campus visit. Ambassador Birx praised the university's COVID-19 response model, noting that it is one to be shared nationally. Please join me in congratulating our faculty, staff, students, and partners for their hard work and important contributions to this success.
