A PUBLICATION OF
UNIVERSITY OF THE SCIENCES
From the President
Dear alumni and friends,
This year, University of the Sciences celebrates the 30th
anniversary of our College of Arts and Sciences. Unifying
our core bench sciences with programs in the
humanities and social sciences was the vision of former
president Dr. Allen Misher. Misher College of Arts and
Sciences bears his name in recognition of that idea and
the emphasis on educating well-rounded students.
The arts and sciences contained within Misher College
are essential components of all the disciplines at
USciences. No matter the degree, studies in disciplines
such as biology, chemistry, writing, and psychology provide a core foundation to our
students’ education. They are also at the heart of the innovative spirit we find at
USciences, which has existed here since this institution’s earliest days.
All who come to USciences are familiar with the titans of the pharmaceutical industry—
names like Lilly, McNeil, Rorer, Warner, Wyeth, Burroughs, and Wellcome—who earned
their degrees from PCP. In addition to developing the top pharmaceutical companies in
the world, from the 1800s to today, our graduates have developed or contributed to a
wide range of inventions, technologies, and products, such as X-rays, ultrasound gel,
rechargeable batteries, and electrographic inks, that aid humankind the world over.
That belief in educating students to be innovative is alive and well at USciences today.
From the McNeil Science and Technology Center, with its state-of-the-art technologies, to
our brand-new Integrated Professional Education Complex, where students come together
to practice an integrated and team-based approach to patient care that is the hallmark of
healthcare today, we are giving our students and faculty the tools to be innovative. We are
incubating businesses, developing patents, and fostering faculty-student research across
a wide range of areas.
University of the Sciences alone cannot propel the work of our students and faculty into
the discoveries of the future. Your support of scholarships, faculty-student research, and
curricular enhancements is needed to continue our excellence in education. This issue of
The Bulletin contains the names of those alumni and friends who have made a financial
commitment to USciences and its future this past year, and I wholeheartedly thank them
on behalf of the entire USciences community. If you have not yet contributed, the
opportunity is ever present for you to join us in continuing our legacy of innovation.
Only together can we continue to make University of the Sciences a place where our
visions become a reality and a benefit to all.
Sincerely,
Helen F. Giles-Gee

USciences Opens the
Integrated Professional
Education Complex
By Lauren Whetzel
Upholding USciences’ commitment to prepare graduates for careers
in the life sciences and health sciences professions, President HELEN
GILES-GEE, PhD, was joined by the University community, local
and state lawmakers, and Philadelphia residents and organizations
at a ribbon-cutting ceremony officially marking the completion of
USciences’ Integrated Professional Education Complex (IPEX) on
September 18, 2014.
“The IPEX is the culmination of strong visionary planning, as well as
the efforts of countless people,” said Dr. Giles-Gee. “Our IPEX will
serve as one of Pennsylvania’s premier academic facilities designed to
educate our future healthcare and science professionals.”
The 57,000-square-foot, three-story building showcases an interprofessional education model that permits students from several disciplines—including physician assistant studies, pharmacy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, exercise science, psychology, and healthcare
business and policy—to obtain traditional and hands-on experience.
Continued on page 4
Helping to cut the ribbon for the IPEX were (left to right) board member JAMES
RIVARD P’81; state Senator Anthony Hardy Williams; board vice chair KATE MAYES
P’76, PharmD’78; board chair MARVIN SAMSON HonAlm’96; President HELEN
GILES-GEE, PhD; Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell; state Representative James
Roebuck; vice president for finance and administration JOHN VITALI; Dean LAURIE
SHERWEN, PhD, and Provost HEIDI M. ANDERSON, PhD.
IPEX houses the new provisionally accredited physician
assistant studies graduate professional program and promotes
traditional and hands-on learning for all students.
Continued from page 3
This interprofessional education model
gives students an opportunity to fully
understand its value in their everyday
practice and learn the benefits of
respectful communication, the application of knowledge and skills, and how
collaborative teams augment healthcare
delivery to improve patient outcomes.
A sleek, modern, and bright facility, the
$26 million building combines innovative
learning spaces and student lounge space
with two simulation labs, a clinical lab,
five mock patient exam rooms, and
conference rooms. IPEX also houses the
new provisionally accredited physician
assistant studies graduate professional
program and serves as a hub for students
to study, interact, and learn with and
from one another.
“By learning together, each of our
students in their respective disciplines will
gain a greater appreciation for human
health as a whole,” said USciences board
chairman MARVIN SAMSON HonAlm’96. “They will be trained to work
in teams to assist individuals in creating,
restoring, and maintaining wellness; that
is the healthcare paradigm of the future,
and this Integrated Professional
Education Complex is leading the way.”
A green-roof system that emphasizes
the University’s commitment to the
environment and sustainability, in
addition to other features, helped
USciences earn three Green Globes
from the Green Building Initiative.
Financial assistance toward the
construction of the IPEX was
provided through the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania’s Redevelopment
Assistance Capital Program.
To learn more about the IPEX and
see photos and video from the ribbon
cutting, visit usciences.edu/IPEX.
Mock exam rooms and clinical practice labs
promote team-based training that is at the heart
of interprofessional education.
Antique Bottles Discovered at the IPEX Construction Site
While no messages were found in the bottles unearthed during construction of the IPEX, that doesn’t
mean they don’t have a story to tell. Of all the bottles discovered at the IPEX site, there’s one that’s
sure to bring a smile to the lips of many graduates. It’s a one-pint milk bottle with the words “Breyer
Ice Cream Co.” on the front. For something like 70 years, there was no getting away from Breyer’s
if you were a student at PCP. To read more about the glassware unearthed during construction visit:

THE BULLETIN: 30TH ANNIVERSARY PAGE 5
After 30 Years, Misher College Still a Perfect Fit
By Brian Kirschner
Thirty years ago when
former president
ALLEN MISHER
P’59, PhD, HonDSc’95
established the arts
and sciences college
that would later bear his name, it was
to broaden the education of the school’s
graduates. He wanted to ensure what
was then PCP&S was graduating wellrounded individuals.
Now, 30 years later, Misher College
of Arts and Sciences is marking its
anniversary as much more than
expanded course offerings and a
well-rounded education. It is the path
taken by almost the entire student
body when they start their academic
career, whether a student is heading
for one of its 11 different majors or
to the professional programs such as
pharmacy or physical therapy or even
to the pharmaceutical and healthcare
business program.
“Every student does come to Misher
College as part of their educational
foundation,” said SUZANNE
MURPHY, PhD, dean. “Many students
are in the college for two years, some
for three years, and then some for
four years.”
But Misher College is much more
than an academic starting point.
With personalized attention, the
college is helping students find their
perfect-fit career. This is done through
a newly branded initiative named
Destination: SuccessTM.
“All of the 11 majors within Misher
College fall under the Destination:
SuccessTM platform,” said KEVIN
WOLBACH, MS, assistant dean and
Destination: SuccessTM program director.
“It is really a mechanism by which
we help students gain as much career
exposure and experience as possible.”
Students are paired with advisors
who help guide them to a major and
ultimately the career that fits them best.
It is this advising relationship through
which Destination: SuccessTM gains its
greatest strength. In addition, there are
many opportunities for exploration
and experiential learning.
“One size does not fit all,”
Dr. Murphy explained.
“Destination:
SuccessTM is tailored
to the individual’s
interests.”
“Our vision is to make
University of the Sciences
and, specifically, Misher
College a destination for
any student who wants a
career in science or a health
profession.”
Another way
Destination:
SuccessTM helps
students is through
SUZANNE MURPHY, PhD, dean
a flexible curriculum
that allows students to
discover and make changes
in their trajectory. Early in their
academic career, students have the
opportunity to switch focus without
missing credits or causing delays in their
time to graduation.
Continued on page 6
Continued from page 5
One more advantage provided to
Misher students is the offer of early
assurance seats through external and
internal articulation agreements. Highly
qualified students are selected for a seat
in the professional programs at the
University or with one of eight partner
institutions for seats in medical, dental,
veterinary, and other science and health
science programs. As long as they meet
individual program requirements, they
know there is a seat waiting for them.
But there is much more happening
within Misher College. The graduate
programs within Misher offer a wide
range of opportunities for students
seeking advanced degrees. There
are several new academic certificate
programs in the pipeline, advances
being made in research, and biotech
companies being incubated on campus.
The companies that have taken root
are “great opportunities for students
to intern right here on campus, in
a company setting in addition to
an academic setting,” remarked Dr.
Murphy. “It is a great opportunity for
students and where lots of intellectual
development can take place.” Unique
internships like these and volunteer
experiences, coupled with the advising
component and the ability to explore,
give Destination: SuccessTM an attractive
and unique educational model for
prospective students.
Misher College is also working on its
next strategic plan to look ahead to
the next 30 years. It will build on the
already established focus on learningcentered teaching and undergraduate
research. The new plan coincides nicely
with the University’s own strategic
plan and academic planning under
development.
“Our vision is to make University of
the Sciences and, specifically, Misher
College a destination for any student
who wants a career in science or a
health profession,” said Dr. Murphy.

Alumni Became Stronger Healthcare
Professionals and Leaders, Thanks to the Military
by Lauren Whetzel
Col. ERIC SHALITA P’86 never
imagined he would lead pharmacy efforts
during the evacuation of more than
20,000 refugees and pets from the Philippines after a deadly volcanic eruption
in 1991. After all, serving as a pharmacist
in the U.S. Air Force was not a part of
his original life plan once he graduated
from what was then Philadelphia
College of Pharmacy and Science.
Now, recently retired after nearly 28
years of service, Shalita said pursuing a
pharmacy career in the Air Force was
among the best decisions he has made
in his lifetime. Through his extensive
career, Shalita’s skills were often put to
the test while providing pharmaceutical
treatment in challenging environments
across the world, such as jungle
pharmacies in Central America and
military treatment centers in Iraq.
“My experience in the Air Force, undoubtedly, made me a stronger pharmacist and leader by providing me with a
unique skillset,” said Shalita, who now
serves as director of pharmacy at Desert
Parkway Behavioral Healthcare Hospital
in Las Vegas. “There were times I was in
the middle of nowhere and relied on my
pharmaceutics education from Philadelphia College of Pharmacy to compound
different types of drugs.”
Shalita, originally from the Philadelphia
area, credits his decision to join the
Air Force to his faculty mentorships
with former University president
and pharmacy professor PHILIP P.
GERBINO P’69, PharmD’70 and
former pharmacy professor BILL
WILLIAM KELLY P’94 (second from left) returned to Griffith Hall with his family to be sworn in as a
commander in the U.S. Navy.
ADAMS, a retired captain in the Army.
“I had no idea what I wanted to do
with my pharmacy career after college,
and the advice I received from my
mentors [at PCP] turned out to be
life changing for me as an individual
and a pharmacist,” he said. “They
had confidence in me and thought I
embodied the types of traits to lead a
successful military career.”
He has since passed down the
invaluable advice he received as a
fourth-year pharmacy student to his
daughter Jessica, who followed his
footsteps and is now serving her first
year as a pharmacist in the Air Force.
Unlike Shalita, pharmacy alumnus
Cmdr. WILLIAM KELLY P’94 said
his calling to join the U.S. Navy came
several years after he graduated from
PCP. He wanted to serve his country.
And even then, Kelly admits his initial
plan was to gain solid pharmacy
experience during his three-year
contract, then return to the civilian
workforce.
“Within my first six months, I wholeheartedly knew I found what I wanted
in my Navy career,” said Kelly, who
joined the Navy in 2000, having completed his doctor of pharmacy degree at
University of Illinois at Chicago.
Over the past 15 years, Kelly has
served as pharmacy director at three
naval hospitals across the world and
honed his pharmacy and leadership
skills through clinical pharmacy
assignments that pushed him beyond
his comfort zone. A native of Dunmore,
Pennsylvania, Kelly is now deputy of
the pharmacy department at the Walter
Reed National Military Medical Center
in Bethesda, Maryland.
“I encourage current students and recent
graduates to explore their future career
paths with open minds; had someone
told me during my fifth year at PCP
that this is what I would be doing
Continued on page 8
Continued from page 7
today, I would have never believed it,”
said Kelly. “My PCP education laid the
foundation for what I’ve accomplished
thus far in my career.”
Because of his high regard for the
University, Kelly returned to campus
last year to be promoted to Navy
commander in the presence of some
of his former pharmacy professors
and classmates, including longtime
pharmacy professor DANIEL A.
HUSSAR P’62, MS’64, PhD’67.
Both Shalita and Kelly said their
careers in the military gave them the
opportunity to further their education,
travel across the world, and grow
within their pharmacy careers. Alumna
Maj. LISA SHOFF BI’04 said the
Air Force has funded her dentistry
education and allowed her to learn
from some of the best experts in the
field. She is currently completing her
periodontal specialty training through
the Air Force’s residency program and
said she remains open minded as to
where her dental career will take her
once her military contract expires.
“The Air Force is a great way for
graduates to gain invaluable job
experience, even if they do not plan to
make a full career out of the military,”
said Shoff. “I’ve had the opportunity
“I’ve had the opportunity to give back
to my education by participating in
humanitarian missions overseas to
provide free dental care to underserved
children and families”

was a drilling reservist in the Navy and
served with the U.S. Marine Corps and
Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit as a
corpsman.
Although Shalita, Kelly, and Shoff
launched their military careers after
their time at University of the Sciences,
many alumni have attended the
University during or after their service.
Upon graduation, Price started his 24year career as a commissioned naval
officer and retired as a Navy captain.
He completed his career as a pharmacy
consultant to the Navy surgeon general
and the pharmacy specialty leader for
the U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine,
where he was responsible for providing
career advice to 140 Navy pharmacists.

is a prime example, as he came to the
University with six years of healthcare
experience as a hospital corpsman and
pharmacy technician in the U.S. Navy.
During his five years on campus, Price
“My pharmacy education was
instrumental in allowing me to move
up through the ranks in the Navy,”
said Price. “The rigorous coursework
and faculty mentorships taught me
perseverance and dedication to the
pharmacy profession, and I am forever
grateful for my time at PCP.”

H1N1 Pandemic Leads to Positive
Outcomes Research
By Jen A. Miller
TAMAR KLAIMAN, PhD, MPH, was
already researching school closure
policies in response to illness when the
H1N1 pandemic broke out in 2009.
Dr. Klaiman’s research focuses on the
public health system and its impact on
population health outcomes, so she was
able to start her work on the H1N1
vaccination efforts in real time.
“We were able to study the response
while it was happening,” said the
assistant professor of health policy and
public health at USciences. Specifically,
Dr. Klaiman focuses on “positive deviances,” in which she studies consistantly
high performers in terms of outcomes—
so in this case, she looked at the practices
of local health departments with
successful vaccination projects did right.
Unlike many retrospective studies,
which rely on participants’ memories
of their experience, she was able to get
almost instant feedback about what
worked in a variety of settings, from
big city immunization projects to the
work done by small rural communities.
Through this research, which was
funded by the Pfizer Corporation’s
Medical and Academic Partnership
Fellowship in Public Health and the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, she and her coauthors were
able to identify model practices.
“You don’t want to compare New
York City to a small town in Illinois,”
Dr. Klaiman said. “The goal is to
learn from similarly situated health
departments and communities. What
“The goal is to learn from similarly situated
health departments and communities.
What can one rural community learn from
another rural community? What can our
big city learn from another one? ”
Tamar Klaiman, PhD, MPH
can one rural community learn from
another rural community? What can
our big city learn from another one?”
One thing researchers found, for
example, is that smaller rural health
departments depended strongly
on personal relationships and less
formal partnerships than larger health
departments. A larger health department
may require formal memoranda of
understanding because staff do not
necessarily know each other.
Based on the results, Dr. Klaiman found
that “rather than a one-size-fits-all
approach, local health departments can
reach their constituents as they see fit,
but using similar processes,” she said.
Studying H1N1 vaccination to learn
and be prepared for the next emergency
was important for a lot of reasons, but
especially because of who was involved.
“It was really a response from so many
different agencies,” she said, which
doesn’t happen in every emergency. In
a fire, for example, the public health
department might not be involved.
“When you have a pandemic like
H1N1, you’re including so many parts
of the public health system, which
allowed us to study the relationships
between those entities and how they
interacted. In a large scale emergency,
those different players are going to
have to interact and respond at the
same time,” she said.
Dr. Klaiman came to USciences in
2012 in part because of the University’s
environment that fostered research while
also letting her teach and collaborate.
She’s currently working with USciences
colleagues on studying hepatitis C
vaccination among senior citizens and,
in a study funded by the Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation, is collaborating
with colleagues from the University
of Washington to study public health
practices that lead to exceptional
maternal and child health outcomes.

Caserio Named Interim AD
Changes in the USciences Athletic Department
over the summer have introduced a new
interim athletic director who is looking forward
to building on Athletic Department traditions
while introducing new ways to recognize
USciences’ student-athletes accomplishments
on and off the field.
MARC CASERIO, MEd, who has been director of campus recreation
since 2007 and with the University since 2003, is filling the role
of interim athletic director. Having been stationed in the Athletic/
Recreation Center, Caserio has a good feel for the USciences
athletic program.
“I would like to build on the culture of collaboration, academic
success, athletic excellence, and, most importantly, student
centeredness,” said Caserio, who is currently working toward
his EdD. “I would also like to design and implement community
service projects to support various charitable organizations while
creating student leadership development programs to enhance
communication and teamwork skills.”
In addition, Caserio has started a spirit committee to increase campus
support of Devils’ teams at home games. He also plans to introduce
an end-of-the-year banquet for student-athletes and their families.
Caserio stepped in for athletic director PAUL KLIMITAS HonAlm’05
after Klimitas left the University in July following a 38-year career.
Klimitas was appointed to the USciences faculty in 1976, was a
member of the Athletic Department, and was the head varsity rifle
coach for 35 years. He chaired the Department of Physical Education
from 2001 to 2014 and taught as an assistant professor from 1976
to 2014. Prior to his promotion to athletic director in 2011, he was
the longest consecutive tenured rifle coach in national collegiate
varsity history. Over the course of his tenure, he was assistant
basketball coach and driver for various teams for 25 years, and he
served as intramural director (once boasting a 58 percent schoolwide participation rate), women’s softball coach, men’s soccer coach,
and men’s golf coach. Klimitas, as associate athletic director and
compliance officer, helped the institution transition from NAIA to
active NCAA Division II membership in 2003.
In addition, GEORGE E. DOWNS PharmD’72, dean emeritus of
PCP and professor of clinical pharmacy, has been appointed
the University’s faculty athletic representative. Faculty athletic
representatives play an important role in promoting academic
integrity in intercollegiate athletics, to facilitate the integration of the
athletics and academic components of the collegiate community,
and to oversee the impact of athletics on student-athletes’ academic
standing and well-being. Dr. Downs replaces Vincent J. Willey P’92,
PharmD’99 who had served as the FAR since 2011.

Life Is a Team Sport
“Crossing the finish
line is more than
just a personal
accomplishment.”
ALICE TILL P’66, MS’69, PhD, MBA
ALICE TILL P’66, MS’69, PhD, MBA,
participated in her first marathon
at age 57 as a race walker. Fourteen
years later, after learning to swim, she
completed a triathlon in Philadelphia—
her hometown­—at age 69. This was
her eighteeth event with Team-inTraining (a fundraising arm of the
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society—LLS).
“Crossing the finish line is more than
just a personal accomplishment,”
Dr. Till said. “I push myself for my
honored teammates.”
president for science policy and technical affairs for the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America
(PhRMA). Prior to joining PhRMA, Dr.
Till served as president for the Generic
Pharmaceutical Industry Association
(GPIA, now part of the Genetic Pharmaceutical Association) and before that
had worked for Merck for 21 years,
holding various positions in pharmaceutical R&D, drug metabolism, clinical
research, and clinical development for
international marketing departments.
Her friend Debby, a leukemia survivor,
is her primary inspiration. To date
Dr. Till has raised close to $275,000 for
research and patient services supported
by LLS. “Scientists, like me, and others
work hard to develop effective drugs
for cancer. As long I’m healthy, I can
also raise money for research through
endurance events, while honoring
blood-cancer patients,” she said.
Dr. Till credits much of her personal
and professional success to the strong
scholastic and highly structured start
she got at Philadelphia College of
Pharmacy, in a very nurturing “team”
(students and faculty) environment
where no student could inadvertently
slip through the cracks. The teamwork
learned at PCP continues to underlie
her approach to life as she moves from
one opportunity to the next.
A highly accomplished and recognized
pharmaceutical scientist, Dr. Till’s determination on the racecourse is the same
that she has demonstrated throughout
her career. She recently retired as vice
This past May she reminisced over
lunch with several classmates from
her PCP graduating class of 1966.
The gathering stimulated lots of great
memories—the challenging course
in pharmacology from G. VICTOR
ROSSI P’51, MS’52, PhD; how even
dean LINWOOD TICE PhG’29, P’33,
MS’35, DSC, knew every student by
name; how ARCHIE MOORE AM
PhG’43, MS’48, HonDSc’82 showed
strong faith and love for his profession
and the students he taught and some
of the courses that nearly did them in,
like physics, quantitative analysis, and
organic chemistry. In addition to her
amazing foundation from PCP, Dr. Till
also credits her many mentors during
her career, two of whom are USciences
benefactors—USciences board chairman
MARVIN SAMSON HonAlm’96 and
the late Agnes Varis.
With no finish line in sight, Dr. Till is
currently prepping for her next “run” as
president of the American Association
of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS)
beginning November 2014. After
spending 21 years in industry and
another 18 with associations, Dr. Till
is still going strong. “I have a lot to be
thankful for. I’ve been blessed. Now
is the time to ’pay it forward’ until
I do reach the final finish line,” she
concluded. “Life is a team sport.”
Alumna Kidney Donor Saved a Life,
Improved Her Own
by Lauren Whetzel
“This journey also made me realize that helping people is
what I want to do for the rest of my life….”
MEGAN ALLMAN HS’13
Although Allman and Polk did not run
in the same social circles in high school
because of their age difference, they are
now forever a part of each other—a “selfrewarding experience,” Allman said, she
will cherish for the rest of her life.
Kidney donors typically do not improve
their health when they give up an organ—but that’s what happened to alumna MEGAN ALLMAN HS’13 when she
started her journey toward becoming
a living kidney donor after graduating
from University of the Sciences in 2013.
The 23-year-old aspiring physician
assistant dropped 15 pounds and
significantly cut back on her smoking
before she donated her kidney to former
high school classmate Chris Polk on
February 27, 2014. Unlike her USciences
peers who were focused on landing
their first “real” job out of college,
Allman said she had a unique goal upon
graduation: Find out if she was eligible
to donate her kidney to Polk, who was
in end-stage renal failure.
“A week after graduating college in
May 2013, I contacted the transplant
office to see if I was a match for Chris,”
Allman said. “After a series of blood
tests and health screenings, I found
out that I was approved to be a kidney
donor in December 2013, just in time
for the holidays.”
“A lot of people have asked why I was
so determined to donate my kidney to
someone I barely knew,” said Allman.
“But for me, the answer is simple. I saw
a young man, with so much life ahead
of him, suffering from kidney failure.
I am one of six children, and I hope
that someone would step forward to do
something like this for me or my family
if the roles were reversed.”
In the time leading up to the surgery,
Allman said she and her family had
their initial concerns, such as, “Will my
quality of life change?” and “What if I
have kidney problems down the road?”
However, looking back, Allman said
those types of feelings were normal and
all part of the donation process.
“It’s a very personal decision and so
many different thoughts—both good
and bad—run through your mind
during the entire journey,” she said.
“Luckily, my family was extremely
supportive of my decision and helped
me stay focused on the positives.”
Now, six months after the kidney
transplant, Allman said she feels healthier
than ever, despite an absent kidney. She
vividly recalls bursting into tears of relief
a few hours after the surgery when she
learned that Polk’s body accepted her
kidney and was able to produce urine.
“Hearing those words, then seeing
the huge smile on Chris’s face, were
priceless moments,” she said. “This
journey also made me realize that
helping people is what I want to do for
the rest of my life, and I look forward
to applying to graduate physician
assistant studies programs soon.”
Allman and Polk, both of Lackawanna
County, Pennsylvania, enjoy traveling
across the region to share their story with
various individuals and organizations, in
hopes of encouraging others to consider
becoming living kidney donors.

From the Alumni Association
President’s Pen
Dear Alumni,
Welcome to our 193rd academic year here at USciences. I am still
reveling in the great reunion at the University from September 18 to 21.
If you were there, I hope you enjoyed yourself with fellow classmates
and made new acquaintances. Be sure to check out some of the photos
from this year’s event on page 12 of this Bulletin. Keep in mind that
even if it is not your five-year graduation anniversary, we welcome you
every year at the reunion.
During reunion, I heard from several alumni who were amazed at the ongoing exhibition
Wyeth: A History Through Artifacts in the Marvin Samson Center for the History of Pharmacy.
It was quite a display of artifacts and memorabilia. In addition to the class celebrations, we
recognized the newest recipients of the Annual Alumni Awards. Please join me in extending
congratulations to GERALD MEYER P’73, PharmD’74, MBA (Annual Alumnus Award);
JAMES HOFFMAN P’00, PharmD’01, MS (Young Alumnus Award); and BERNARD J.
BRUNNER, PhD, associate professor of physics, USciences (Honorary Alumnus). And it goes
without saying how touched I was to receive the Ivor Griffith Service Award.
But don’t let reunion be the only excuse to return to campus. The USciences Alumni
Association board of directors networking dinners and business meetings for the upcoming
year are held in the Wilson Student Center, at 6:30 p.m., on the following remaining
Thursdays: December 4, 2014; February 5, 2015; and April 2, 2015.
