WE ARE 2015 – 2016 Annual Report | L.E.A.D.E.R.S. Leadership | Excellence | Accountability | Diversity | Engagement | Relationship | Service MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN he College of Pharmacy had another successful year in 2015-2016. This was largely due to the effort made by the faculty, staff students and alumni. After completing a presentation to the Health sciences Howard University College of Pharmacy T board of trustees yesterday. I was told that we are doing a good job. We 4 had 6 patents confirmed, numerous publications and invitations to speak by our faculty. I truly agree with our students who say that HUCOP is one of the best kept secrets. The secret is out and I am very proud to show- case the great work that our faculty and students have accomplished during the past year in this report. This year I begin my tenure as dean of the college and it is with great joy I join this presti- gious institution. The convocation ceremony on September 23, 2016 brought back memories of commitment and resolve to do what it takes to serve humanity and move the profession forward. Most importantly, I look forward to serving the students, staff, faculty and alumni in any way I can. The work has begun and we are excited for 2016-2017. In the town hall on September 14, 2016, my vision for the College was clearly stated. We must build upon the successes of our great predecessors, Interim Dean Daphne Bernard and Dean Anthony Wutoh and carry the torch making sure the world knows we are here to serve, we are here to learn, and we are here to lead. Since we are raising leaders to change our world, it is imperative that we model the way as well. We must strive to 1. Improve College pride 2. Increase US presence and reputation 3. Increase funding streams/revenue 4. Increase collaboration To accomplish this we must: • Have a successful COP accreditation, strong academic program, strong research enterprise, strong and consistent clinical practices • Improve efficiency and effectiveness-implement structures and systems that work and improve the environment of learning and work • Engage faculty and staff and ensure that “The right people are in the right seats on the bus”-Good to great Students continue to have a variety of opportunities to participate in research, clinical train- ing, and community pharmacy initiatives to enhance the educational opportunities provided through the curriculum. Students are gaining real-world experience in international pharmacy through an international rotations. New partnerships were developed with Lilly and Pfizer. Three of our graduates were selected for the Lilly Fellowship and relocated to Indiana as part Howard University College of Pharmacy of the first phase. Of special note is that they began with 1 fellow and we were able to con- vert that into 3 fellows because of the quality of the candidates. As a result of the fellowship engagement with Pfizer, an unprecedented number of summer 2016 interns (7) were taken from HU and they all excelled. Quoting from the Provosts newsletter: “Pfizer Pharmaceuticals has committed to providing the initial seed funding of $40,000 per year over two years to de- velop the fellowship in regulatory affairs. The program is designed to help doctoral students | from the Pharmaceutical and Medical Sciences become expert investigators globally.” 2015 – 2016 Annual Report During the board of trustees meeting on September 22, 2016, I was asked to highlight key points that make HUCOP stand out, our leaders came up with this list: 1. We are situated in the nation’s capital; a. Giving us access to big hospitals, NIH, FDA, USP and pharmaceutical companies where students can have excellent experiential education. 5 b. Student access to government and federal agencies that impact pharmacy law and practice 2. We have a. 150 years of pharmaceutical education experience b.

I hope this email finds you well. Ms. Trudy mbarrassingly so, this email is actually long overdo! I meant to email you soon after it happened: what I’m referring to is my encounter with Ms. Trudy later that day of the Town Hall Meeting. What a coincidence. E 7 Her face is flashing through my mind as I type this because I vividly remember your story at the end of your presentation about how Ms. Trudy provided you with a pin on the day of your interview at 7 o’clock in the morning! I remember you saying that her positive energy, willingness to help and her smile made your day that day and that she was and is a Leader in your eyes. Well, I did what you suggested we students do should we ever bump into her: I thanked her sincerely for her hard work and diligence in all that she does here at HUCOP. And can you imagine what her reply was to me? She said, “You know I consider you all to be my children and I just try my best to make this place accommodating for you all so that you all can do well and succeed. Yes, I have children of my own, but when I’m here, you all are my children.” I was so touched by what she said that I continued to thank her even more profusely because I’d never seen a complete stranger, so-to-speak, express that much genuine concern over my welfare.
