  • The Purdue Pharmacist
    the PURDUE pharmacistn SPRING 2007 VOLUME 83 NO. 1 Lilly Endowment Awards $25 Million to Pharmacy FROM THE DEAN Perhaps the most exciting event to take place since my last letter to you is the announcement of a $25 million grant from the Lilly Endowment. At the end of my first week as Dean, an opportunity arose to submit a proposal to the Endowment. Working with the office of the President and the Provost, we submitted a proposal that has the potential to transform the School and have a major impact on pharmacy practice and the pharmaceutical sciences. You can read more about this opportunity in this issue. During my arrival on campus this past fall, I hit the ground running with numerous activities, and I haven’t slowed down yet. Throughout this issue of The Purdue Pharmacist, you will find highlights from various alumni receptions hosted throughout the country and how students are making a difference in organizations on campus. And although Purdue didn’t leave Orlando with a victory, we were excited for the opportunity to attend a bowl game this year. In the last issue, I mentioned several improvements being made to our facility. You’ll be pleased to read more about the CVS Pharmacy Practice Laboratory and the Hook Drug Foundation Student Lounge in this current issue. Sincere gratitude is extended to all of the donors who made these projects a reality, and I invite each of you to take the time to explore these wonderful new spaces during your next visit to campus. I am also pleased to share with you news about our faculty.

  • The Purdue Pharmacist, Summer 2006
    the PURDUE pharmacistn SUMMER 2006 VOLUME 82 NO. 3 Remembering Professor Dane Kildsig August 3, 1935 - June 9, 2006 FROM THE INTERIM DEAN I bring you greetings from the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. I am serving as Interim Dean of the School until we have our new dean in place later this year. This is my 27th year on the School faculty; the last eight have been in the position of As- sociate Dean. I am proud of our many accomplishments over these years and am excited about our future as well. I am pleased to have this opportunity to assist the School, and I am confident that we will continue to move forward on several important fronts during the coming months. During this transition period, Steve Scott, Pharmacy Practice Associ- ate Head, will be serving in my place as Interim Associate Dean for Academic Programs. In the last issue of The Purdue Pharmacist, it was reported that Frank Brown is moving on to the next phase of his life after directing the Bachelor of Science in the Pharmaceutical Sciences (BSPS) program for the past five years. I am pleased to report that Sylvia Howell has been named Director of the BSPS program, and that she will also continue her role in the Office of Student Services as an Associate Director. This spring, Steve Abel, Head of the Department of Pharmacy Practice, was named the Bucke Professor of Pharmacy Practice, recognizing his dedicated leadership in advancing his department and his important contributions to the School. We are currently recruiting faculty to fill two distinguished professorships: the Anderson Chair in Pharmacology and the Dane Kildsig Professorship in Industrial Pharmacy.

  • A Look Inside
    2011 Edition Dear Friends in Song: It's official! On December 18th, the Purdue University Board of Trustees approved constructing our new home, Ralph and Bettye Bailey Hall! Schmidt Associates of Indianapolis will design the $8 million, 18,000-square-foot facility which will be paid for entirely from gift funds. Bailey Hall will be located at the southeast corner of Grant Street and Northwestern Avenue in West Lafayette. We hope to be in the building by the spring of 2013. On behalf of our current students and staff, as well as all those who came before us and those who will come after, thank you to the 472 donors who helped make this dream a reality. A most special “thank you” to Ralph and Bettye Bailey, whose tremendous generosity will enhance the student experience for generations of PMO performers and allow our program to accommodate the ever-growing interest in musical opportunities at Purdue. For PMO, 2010 was a year of collaboration. We were proud to partner in performances with Purdue Bands & Orchestra, Pur- due’s Black Cultural Center and the Lafayette Symphony Orchestra. We also collaborated with Purdue Convocations, Greater Lafayette Commerce, Lafayette-West Lafayette Convention & Visitors Bureau and Purdue Athletics. Perhaps our most visible partnership of 2010 was with Purdue’s Office of Marketing & Media to launch our new website, www.purdue.edu/pmo. In 2010, our students performed in 126 shows in 31 cities across six states. Even though 2011 has just begun, we have already accomplished much. Highlights from our year thus far include accepting an invitation to perform at The Palladium, the new Cen- ter for the Performing Arts in Carmel, during their grand opening.
