It is a deep honor and Volume 93, Issue 2 (Winter 2018) privilege to begin my term as dean of this ADMINISTRATION truly elite college of pharmacy. Over the past Eric L. Barker few months as I have spent time with faculty, Dean, College of Pharmacy staff, students, and alumni, the reputation Val J. Watts and legacy of this college have been Associate Dean for Research confirmed over and over. Without question, Danzhou Yang I affirm our commitment to move the College Associate Dean for Graduate Programs forward as a bold leader in pharmacy and Holly L. Mason the pharmaceutical sciences. Senior Associate Dean During these first few months, I’ve been Brian M. Shepler reflecting on what it means to be a Purdue Assistant Dean for Experiential Education Boilermaker, asking, “What does the spirit of being a Purdue Boilermaker look like?” DEPARTMENT HEADS I visited several iconic statues around Tonglei Li Interim Head, Industrial & Physical Pharmacy campus: John Purdue, Amelia Earhart, Zhong-Yin Zhang Neil Armstrong, John Wooden, and the Boilermaker near Ross-Ade Stadium. In the lives of Medicinal Chemistry & Molecular these historic Boilermakers, I see boldness, courage, innovation, wisdom, and perseverance.

  • PURDUE PHARMACIST Volume 92, Issue 1 (Summer 2016)
    THE PURDUE PHARMACISTSummer 2016 Volume 92, Issue 1 FROM THE DEAN THE PURDUE PHARMACIST Volume 92, Issue 1 (Summer 2016) ADMINISTRATION Craig K. Svensson Dean, College of Pharmacy Eric L. Barker The late renowned author Professor Stephen Covey is attributed as the Associate Dean for Research originator of the saying, “The main thing is to keep the main thing the main Tonglei Li thing.” Any leader of an organization needs to make sure they understand Associate Dean for Graduate Programs what is the “main thing” and keep their focus on this priority. While obviously Holly L. Mason open to debate, I would argue that the “main thing” for any organization is its Senior Associate Dean people. It is our people who define, embody, and accomplish our mission. Brian M. Shepler No organization will surpass the quality of its people. It is our students, faculty, Assistant Dean for Experiential Education staff, and alumni who make your College of Pharmacy a program of excellence. They are what makes us who we are and are the engine that drives our mission. DEPARTMENT HEADS It should be no surprise, therefore, that as you read these pages of The Purdue Elizabeth M. Topp Industrial and Physical Pharmacy Pharmacist you will find that it is filled with stories of people. Among those are alumni we have recently recognized for their outstanding accomplishments Zhong-Yin Zhang Head, Medicinal Chemistry as pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists. Their individual and collective and Molecular Pharmacology achievements serve as a great source of encouragement to our students and Alan J. Zillich help them to see the possibilities for their own careers.

  • Boiler Dictionary
    Boiler Dictionary Success is facilitated by your ability to express yourself effectively. The following terms, abbreviations, and acronyms are frequently used on this campus. Learn them and add to the list as you encounter other words and phrases that may be unique to the university environment. Academic Advisor: Person in the department who is responsible for providing academic information and advice, helping students follow their plans of study and select courses, and also provides information and assistance in course registration, revision, etc. Ambassadors: Students who represent their department or group at various recruitment and alumni events. It’s a great resume builder and a wonderful way to get involved at Purdue. BGR: Boiler Gold Rush (orientation program for freshman) Big Ten: 12 universities in the Midwest that make up an athletic conference; the “Big Ten” name stuck despite the addition of 2 extra teams (Purdue, Northwestern, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State, Univ. of Illinois, Univ. of Iowa, Univ. of Michigan, Univ. of Minnesota, Indiana, Univ. of Wisconsin, Univ. of Nebraska) Blackboard: An e-learning course management system that allows teachers to post specific information for each class. Students log in using their Purdue career accounts. Boilermaker: This Purdue student or athlete nickname originated in 1889 when discouraged coaches hired several husky boilermakers from the Monon Railroad and a few burly policemen to play football. After enrolling in one course, the men started playing and won one game after another. Angry Crawfordsville newspapermen wrote uncomplimentary stories, calling the team “sluggers”, “cornfield sailors”, and “boilermakers”. The last name stuck and has been a nickname ever since.
