Confirming that goal, Craig Schnell, provost and vice president for academic affairs, shared a saying Peterson had shared with him at the start of their NDSU careers: “Either you make dust or you eat dust.” Schnell added, “We’ve chosen to make dust and we’ve done a good job with it.” The concept pharmacy emphasizes contemporary community pharmacy practice. Students from all four years of the professional program study and experience the latest techniques in such areas as drug distribution systems, telepharmacy, automation, nursing home practice, disease state management, patient education and herbal remedies. Thrifty White Pharmacy, with headquarters in Maple Grove, Minn., presented a $500,000 gift to the university to gain the naming rights. In acknowledging the gift, NDSU President Joseph A.

In her remarks, Pitts paid tribute to Thrifty White Pharmacy. “I think you have been well beyond ‘thrifty,’ ” she said, “in fact, I think you have been ‘magnanimous’ in your financial support of this innovative, experiential learning laboratory for our students. And I think you have been more than ‘white,’ you have been ‘red, white and blue,’ and perhaps ‘green and gold,’ in your loyalty and your patronage of pharmacy education at NDSU.” Thrifty White Pharmacy’s first store opened in Jamestown, Tours of the new concept pharmacy were held after the dedication N.D., in 1884.

NDSU College of Pharmacy Alumni News Career Fair again breaks attendance numbers NDSU’s 2004 pharmacy and nursing career fair, held Sept. 23 in the Fargodome, was the best-attended event in the fair’s four- year history. More than 700 individuals participated attracting 59 exhibitors. Not only did the larger fair provide more variety and opportunities for students, Cynthia Hanson, director of pharmacy advancement, said exhibitor fees generated $4,000 for future student scholarship awards. The college was well represented by students — pre-professionals through P4s — who came to meet representatives of retail pharmacy chains, manufacturers and healthcare facilities. Area high school juniors and seniors considering health-related careers and their parents also attended the fair. “Both students and future employers benefit from the in- formal environment of the career fair,” said Wanda Kearney, director of experiential programs. “These brief encounters have the potential of developing into future communication, inter- views and ultimately employment.” It is no surprise pharmacy students see the fair as a tremendous tool, both in terms of future planning and securing employment. Wendy Allex is a P2 and she’s been attending the fair almost since she enrolled at NDSU. “It gives us a chance to ask professionals questions that we’ve had about classes and about how we approach our education. It’s a good way to see all the different opportunities out there in retail, in hospital set- tings and in research.” Jim Stage, a P3 who has worked NDSU’s career fair booth, said the event is particularly important to P4s who are seriously Pharmacy students and potential pharmacy students gained much from seeking employment. For less advanced students, he agrees with mingling with professionals in the field during the annual Career Fair. Allex that it’s a tremendous way to learn “the thousands of opportunities for those of us going into the profession.” Stage is proud of the fact that NDSU’s fair draws compa- nies from across the country. “We set a high national standard for students at NDSU, so a lot of people are willing to come here and show us their businesses. We’ve got people coming from all over to recruit our graduates.” The 2005 Pharmacy and Nursing Career Fair will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sept. 22.
