On the cover – the Pharmacy class of 1892 and the Pharmacy class of 2017.

The University of Michigan College of Pharmacy had another outstanding year.

The #3 ranked College of Pharmacy garnered a record $17+ million in research grants. Six new faculty members joined the College and the faculty as a whole were especially productive, with nearly 300 new publications. We continued our national leadership in residency and fellowship placement with 44 of our PharmD graduates securing positions (a 93% success rate!). We launched a new PharmD/PhD program, bolstered our Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences program, and launched 12 new PhD graduates into their careers.

Few schools of pharmacy have the storied history of the University of Michigan College of Pharmacy. In the following pages, we pay tribute to the University’s bicentennial by remembering our roots and recommit to our educational, service, and research missions.

University of Michigan College of PharmacyDEAN’S UPDATE

Our faculty, staff, and students had an incredible year. We

had a record year in extramural grant funding. Our placement of graduates in jobs, residencies, and

fellowships remains unmatched in both our PharmD and PhD programs. Our BSPS program has been launched and matriculated about 35 students this fall, and thanks to the generosity of our alumni and friends, we reached our $20M fundraising goal ahead of schedule!

We’ve also reaffi rmed our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion in the College’s strategic plan and launched

several initiatives to support these ends, including the hire of the College’s fi rst Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Offi cer (see page 17).

The College of Pharmacy has been moved up to the top of the University’s list for a new building. The University has earmarked $90 million for this project, and we will be seeking additional funding from other sources. While, at this point, I can’t tell you where it will be or what it will look like, I can tell you that it will be a game-changer for the College.

Current students (approximately 500 across all of our programs)

share a 26’ x 33’ space as their lounge – forcing many to sit in hallways to eat lunch or attempt to study. We have resorted to teaching team-based courses in the cafeteria at Couzens Hall – a half mile from our current building. Pharmacy faculty have offi ces at eight different locations on campus. A new building will have state-of-the-art laboratories, simulation rooms for clinical education, communal gathering spaces, study rooms, and integrated technology in the classrooms (and classrooms large enough for our needs).

Despite our aging facilities, the distinguished history and reputation of the College of Pharmacy has allowed us to maintain a strong applicant pool and outstanding student

body. That being said, state support for higher education is declining and the national competition for outstanding pharmacy and graduate students is at an all-time high.

The College initiated a plan to restructure its tuition and scholarship program for the PharmD students over the next three years, beginning with the

2017-18 academic year. This plan includes a shift in tuition to reduce the differential between resident and non-resident tuition rates for students in our professional degree program, thus creating a tuition and scholarship structure that allows us to compete for the best students.

The plan also includes new Pharmacy Promise Scholarships

to mitigate tuition increases for current in-state students. Our scholarship program is considered the most generous program of any college of pharmacy in the nation, thanks to the support of our alumni and friends. We are committed to helping as many students as we can.

As you will read in these pages, there is much to be excited about in Michigan Pharmacy. Thank you for being such integral partners to our success. Please visit us on campus soon. Go Blue!

2017 brings a monumental moment in the life of our university – our

Bicentennial celebration. Over the course of the year, we have celebrated U-M’s impact on society and the people who helped shape the leading institution we are today.

We also examined how our university will continue to shape society in the future – through the contributions of faculty, students, staff, alumni, and supporters who make this community so special. We held a year of public festivals, academic events, and exhibits that demonstrated the full breadth of our great university’s infl uence.

When we were founded 200 years ago in Detroit, the University of Michigan was an ambitious experiment, a novel and noble idea for higher education in America.

Because of all of you, we are now poised for even greater accomplishments ahead, as the leaders and best. Thank you for being part of our community.

MICHIGAN CELEBRATES 200 YEARS Pharmacy was fi rst taught at the University of Michigan in 1868 in the College of

Literature, Science and the Arts. A School of Pharmacy was established December 29, 1876, the fi rst in a U.S. state university and one of the fi rst in the nation. In 1916 the School was renamed the College of Pharmacy. Today, the College is an integral member of the world-renowned University of Michigan Hospitals and Health System, and is fully accredited by the American Council for Pharmacy Education.

THE MICHIGAN DIFFERENCE

Since 1876, an education at the University of Michigan College of Pharmacy has been a standard against which other pharmacy programs are measured. We owe our success to two things: one of a kind educational experiences, and our association with the University of Michigan — known worldwide for its tradition of excellence and achievement.

Our College is a hub of intersecting basic, clinical, and social science disciplines, leading research centers, scientifi c institutes and a research-intensive health system that is consistently ranked among the best in the U.S. Our partners inside and outside of the U-M include many of the world’s eminent thought-leaders and innovators. Here, you will fi nd top scientists in every imaginable discipline.

Faculty and students in the College’s three academic departments and its research centers are fi nding solutions to the complex health challenges of today, and the emerging health challenges of tomorrow.

I joined the college in 1995 and have been a

pharmacist since 1980. A lot has changed in some regards, and little has changed in others. The basic pharmaceutical sciences related to drug development, physical properties of drugs, medicinal chemistry, and pharmaceutics are still taught – I think they are vital to set the foundation for pharmacist understanding how medication works. This knowledge is unique to pharmacists, and should continue to be a foundation of our training.

The clinical education has grown tremendously to meet the expanding roles of pharmacists. We have always had, in relatively recent history, pathophysiology and therapeutics concepts in our curriculum. The way we teach has changed, with greater emphasis on student engagement in the learning process (team based learning). Another positive trend has been the emphasis of placing students early in the curriculum in practice settings (the IPPE rotations) and in the community with community service course. In many ways, there are no better teachers than the patients themselves.

Steven Erickson, PharmD, Associate Professor of Social and Administrative Sciences

How has working at the COP changed your view of pharmacists?

I have worked in the Clinical Pharmacy (formally Clinical, Social, and

Administrative Sciences) department for 28 years. I help the course coordinators in the Clinical Pharmacy department put together the students’ exams and such. I see all the hard work our professors put into teaching future pharmacists. I know when students graduate from the U-M, our students will go out in the real world well-prepared to help people.

Tammy Craiger, Senior Secretary

When I started working at the College, I hadn’t had much

exposure to the profession of pharmacy and didn’t think much beyond what I saw at my neighborhood pharmacy. I quickly realized how much knowledge is required and how crucial it is to have a pharmacist on the team with other healthcare providers in order to provide the best possible care for patients. I also appreciate the patient counseling provided by pharmacists and the diverse roles they play in a variety of settings.

Pennie Rutan, Administrative Director

University of Michigan College of PharmacyCOLLEGE VOICES

What changes in research infrastructure and resources have you seen during your time at the University?

One of the most significant changes in research infrastructure and resources during my 11 years

at U-M has been the marked increase in institutional support for collaborative and interdisciplinary research. Examples of this include the Mi-Kickstart and Mi-TRAC programs sponsored by the Fast Forward Medical Initiative, the U-M Therapeutic Innovation Fund sponsored by the Michigan Center for Therapeutic Innovation, and the M-Cubed program supported by the U-M Office of Research. Such programs have a powerful impact on research within the College of Pharmacy in areas of basic and translational research into new medicines.

Hollis Showalter, PhD, Research Professor of Medicinal Chemistry

For me, Research Administration and their support of grant submissions, budgets, facilitating the

negotiations between the University and funding sources, and navigating the University system has been critical to my success in obtaining industrial and government support.

Gregory E. Amidon, PhD, Research Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences

FACULTY VOICES STAFF VOICES During your career, what changes have you seen in pharmacy education and pharmacists’ role in healthcare?

Ah, the days before computers. Medication orders written on little strips of paper, patient profiles

kept on the durable card-stock kardex, outpatient refills recorded on the back of the paper prescription, P&T Committee packets put together by pharmacists skilled at cutting and pasting typed paper documents, and paper memos stuffed into manila envelopes. My, how far we have come with all of those tasks now done using computers, allowing us lots of extra time to……stay on top of email!

Gundy Sweet, PharmD, Clinical Professor of Pharmacy

In the 33 years since I began practicing as a clinical pharmacist, I have seen our practice models in direct

patient care evolve from inactive to reactive to proactive approaches. In the 70’s and 80’s, we virtually inserted ourselves into the patient care arena to prove our worth in small pockets throughout the country. In the 90’s, we were more often asked to participate in an ever widening array of settings and locations. Today, we are expected to perform in this role, and to do so in almost any setting into which a pharmacist can become involved. Even from the beginning of my education at the College of Pharmacy in 1979, I always believed this would someday be the case. It just made sense.

Randolph E. Regal, PharmD, Clinical Associate Professor

During your time at the College, what is the greatest change in how students are prepared for the field?

This is actually a difficult question

to answer because the field of pharmaceutical sciences is quite broad and the views may differ among faculty. Nevertheless, I believe that graduate students are trained more broadly than before, learning both the biological (cellular and molecular) and physical-chemical sciences. I would also say there is a better appreciation and utilization of statistics in analyzing the data. Finally, the importance of oral and written communication skills is of utmost importance. I tell all my students that their career opportunities are limited, regardless of how smart they are, if they cannot communicate their results to both scientists and lay people. Research findings will be marginalized if no one else can understand why they are important.

SPOTLIGHT

“This fast-paced event challenged my ability to analyze material and communicate ideas in a succinct manner,” says Kurtis Lee, PharmD’18. “This is unlike any interprofessional event I have ever attended.”

Seven U-M College of Pharmacy students participated in the Sanger Crisis Leadership Challenge, January 12-13, hosted by the Michigan Ross Sanger Leadership Center.

The program prepares students to lead in high-pressure, high-stakes environments. Throughout the training, students engage with crisis management experts, receive specialty training, and personalized feedback.

“This year’s scenario was that our company was potentially involved in a water contamination that resulted in illness in a small town in North Dakota,” explains Andrea Duong, PharmD’19. “The organizers fed us more information throughout the night using email and Twitter updates. Even though my expertise is not in navigating the business world, the problems just required common sense and logic. I will use the skills I learned in the future, since pharmacists commonly work

in a team of people with completely different backgrounds and experiences.”

“Based on my experience, I would highly encourage students in healthcare to take on the Sanger Crisis Leadership Challenge next year. A crisis is not just something only high-level executives deal with. Crises occur throughout each of our daily interactions, when complex problems arise without a clear solution,” adds Kaylee Miu, PharmD’19. “Similar to Standardized Patient Interactions (SPIs), the challenge is the epitome of Action-Based Learning at Ross. Submerged in a simulated crisis with high stress and limited time, you truly are put to the challenge and pushed to consider every perspective and to capitalize on creativity when developing a strategy.”

“Though my team did not win, I left the competition with incredible insight and feedback from the Ross communication coaches and the board of directors,” continues Kaylee. “As future pharmacists, we will be faced with difficult situations

where patient lives will be at stake. Having the ability to think quick on your feet, make smart decisions and to effectively communicate that decision is a crucial skill set for our profession.”

“The experience pushed me outside of my comfort zone,” acknowledges Aradhna Mayalall, PharmD’20. “I enjoyed the challenge of making decisions with a group of business-minded individuals.”

“The high stress level, paired with an unfamiliar work group, was a far cry from the typical classroom experience,” notes Alex Yu, fourth-year pharmaceutical sciences PhD candidate. “Challenging moments can happen anywhere; this experience is definitely something that will carry forward in my future career.”

CRISIS LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE TESTS PHARMACY STUDENTS

“The Sanger Crisis Leadership Challenge was an eye-opening experience.”

1871 Amelia and Mary Upjohn, in Pharmacy,

and Amanda Sanford, in Medicine, are among the first women to receive degrees from the University of Michigan.

“This is unlike any

interprofessional

event I have ever

attended.”

Rui Kuai, a fifth-year pharmaceutical sciences

PhD candidate, was named the winner of the 2017 American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists Innovation in Biotechnology Award. Mr. Kuai was recognized for the paper he co-authored with fellow pharmaceutical sciences PhD candidate Lukasz Ochyl, Anna Schwendeman, Assistant Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and

James Moon, John Gideon Searle Assistant Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences, entitled Designer Vaccine Nanodiscs for Personalized Cancer Immunotherapy. This award is intended to recognize and promote the achievements of individuals that demonstrate innovation in the area of Biotechnology.

Mr. Kuai presented details from the paper at the 2017 AAPS National Biotechnology Conference in May. “Overall, our approach offers a powerful and convenient platform technology for patient-tailored cancer vaccines,” said Rui. “We are basically educating the immune system with nano-

vaccines containing patient-specific tumor antigens so that immune cells can attack cancer cells in a personalized manner. High-throughput DNA/RNA sequencing technologies have allowed for the identification of patient-specific tumor neoantigens, which allows us to create more personalized cancer vaccines,” continued Rui. “Through our research, we have developed a novel vaccine nanodisc technology

“Overall, our approach offers a powerful and convenient platform technology for patient-tailored cancer vaccines.”

1895 Program for the degree of Bachelor of Science in

Pharmacy is introduced – a four-year curriculum intended to supplement, not replace, the Pharm. Chem. Degree

that can elicit exceptional levels of T-cell responses against tumor neoantigens. We have had initial success using nanodiscs to deliver customized therapeutic vaccines for the treatment of multiple murine tumors, such as colon tumors and melanoma. In these tumor models, our vaccine nanodiscs potently inhibited tumor growth and even eliminated established tumors when combined with immune checkpoint blockers. These findings represent a new powerful approach for cancer immunotherapy and suggest a general strategy for personalized nanomedicine.”

“It’s a great honor for me to get this innovation award. I am really grateful to my advisors who give me tremendous help and other people who generously contributed to this work,” Rui added. “This award also encourages me to further

explore in the field and design better nanomedicines in the future.”

The paper, Designer Vaccine Nanodiscs for Personalized Cancer Immunotherapy, was published December 26, 2016, on the Nature Materials website.

Deanna Montgomery, fourth-year medicinal

chemistry PhD candidate, has been awarded the 2017-2018 American Chemical Society Division of Medicinal Chemistry

Pre-Doctoral Fellowship. Deanna earns a $26,000 stipend and the opportunity to present her research at the 2018 American Chemical Society National Meeting. Since 1991, the Division has awarded Pre-Doctoral Fellowships on a competitive basis to graduate students in medicinal chemistry and related fields.

“Addiction research is a really important area of study because of the larger societal implications of addiction in addition to personal medical implications,” says Deanna. “Addiction has

a huge impact not only on the individuals affected, but on the families and friends of these individuals and on society as a whole. I find the opioid system particularly interesting because of the role it plays in modulating mood and reward. The potential therapeutic use of the opioid system is not limited to the treatment of opioid addiction. Rather, this system shows

promise for use in the treatment of addiction to various other kinds of drugs of abuse, such as cocaine and other stimulants.”

Drug overdose deaths continue to increase in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, from 2000 to 2015 more than half a million Americans have died from drug overdoses. The

development of effective treatment options for substance abuse is urgently needed.

“I’m working in Dr. Hank Mosberg’s lab on the design, synthesis, and evaluation of multifunctional opioid peptidomimetics,” explains Deanna. “The opioid system has been shown to regulate the rewarding properties of drugs of abuse and to contribute to the development of addiction. My primary project focuses on the development of multifunctional ligands that act on both the K opioid receptor and the µ opioid receptor as a potential treatment for cocaine addiction.”

“We are extremely proud of Deanna for winning this very prestigious and extremely competitive award,” says George Garcia, Professor and Chair of Medicinal Chemistry and Director, Interdepartmental Program in Medicinal Chemistry. “It’s a strong statement about Deanna’s potential as a future leader in the field.”

University of Michigan College of Pharmacy2017 FACULTY

The U-M Board of Regents has approved the appointment of Professor Gordon L. Amidon

as the William I. Higuchi Distinguished University Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Professor Amidon is the first Distinguished University Professor at the College of Pharmacy. Established in 1947, Distinguished University Professorships recognize senior faculty with exceptional scholarly

or creative achievements, national and international reputations for academic excellence,and superior records of teaching, mentoring, and service.

Professor Amidon received a BS in pharmacy at the State University of New York at Buffalo, where he gained a passion for the intersection between pharmacy and mathematics under the tutelage of Professors Gary Levy, Milo Gibaldi, and Eino Nelson, early pioneers in a then-emerging field known as pharmacokinetics. Gordon’s zeal for using math to understand the physical and biopharmaceutical sciences continues to be a field of special interest to him. Professor Amidon continued his education at the University of

Michigan, receiving an MA in mathematics and a PhD in pharmaceutical chemistry in 1971. Professor William Higuchi served as his graduate advisor. Dr. Amidon chose to recognize his mentor with the naming of this professorship.

Dr. Amidon started his academic career as an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin

School of Pharmacy, rising to associate professor and assistant dean for educational planning and policy

before leaving for a subsidiary of Merck & Co. for a 5-year stint in the pharmaceutical industry.

Professor Amidon returned to academia as a professor of pharmaceutics at the University of Michigan College of Pharmacy in 1983 and has led, mentored, and served the faculty, staff, and students at Michigan for over 30 years. He has co-authored over 30 book chapters and edited eight textbooks in the pharmaceutical sciences, published over 350 peer-reviewed scientific articles, and been cited over 20,000 times by peers. He has mentored more than 120 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows over the course of his career; serving as chair of the dissertation

Prof. Ji-Wang Chern returned to the College this spring to deliver the annual

Leroy B. Townsend Lectureship in Medicinal Chemistry, which honors Prof. Townsend’s long and distinguished career. The lecture was also a family reunion. Prof. Chern’s son, Ting-Rong Chern, is a fifth-year medicinal chemistry PhD candidate.

Prof. Chern earned his PhD in Medicinal Chemistry in 1985 from the University of Michigan College of Pharmacy, where he studied under the guidance of Prof. Townsend. Prof. Chern has enjoyed a successful career in academia, including a chair position in and Dean of the School of Pharmacy at National Taiwan University (NTU) and NTU Dean for Research and Development from 2005-2012. Currently, he is a Distinguished Professor and the Director of the Center for Innovative Therapeutic Therapy at NTU.

Prof. Chern’s research focuses on design and synthesis of a variety of heterocycles as new anticancer, antiviral, and anti-

neurodegenerative agents. He is author or co-author of 145 scientific papers, holds 14 patents, and is active in transferring technology developed from his laboratories. He has dedicated his life’s work to advancing human health, as well as creating a path for those who follow. Prof. Chern co-founded the Asian Association of Schools of Pharmacy and is a member of the Taiwanese Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Economic Affairs. In recognition of his distinguished career, Prof. Chern was elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2001.

University of Michigan College of Pharmacy2017 ALUMNI LEADERSHIP

PHARMACY FAMILY’S LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE

Following in his father’s footsteps, Ting-Rong Chern also hopes to make a lasting impact on the field. “I am working in the lab of Prof. Shaomeng Wang. One of the research interests of our lab involves the development of novel drugs to treat leukemias,” explains Ting-Rong. “Hypermethylation of the histone H3K4 is highly correlated with expression of leukemia stem cell maintenance genes. Studies also showed that a methyltransferase called MLL1 is required for MLL-AF9 induced leukemogenesis. However, it remains unclear if the MLL1 methyltransferase, that catalyzes the methylation of H3K4, is directly responsible for the disease. We want to address this

fundamental biological question by probing the role of MLL1 methyltransferase in leukemogenesis using MLL1 selective inhibitors and genetic knockout /knockdown approaches. To date, there have been no reports of MLL1

selective inhibitors in the literature. My current research focuses on developing selective inhibitors targeting MLL1. The inhibitors developed in this project will enable studies

that will provide a new perspective in this field. We also envision a possible therapeutic application for these MLL1 inhibitors in mixed-lineage type leukemia.”

“After graduation, I would like to continue my research journey via a postdoctoral fellowship and seek the opportunity to work in academia or industry in the drug discovery related area in the United States,” continues Ting-Rong. “My long-term goal is to share the cutting-edge knowledge I’ve gained at U-M with my home country, Taiwan. My ultimate aspiration is to develop drugs that directly benefit human health.”

The fine reputation enjoyed by the College is in large part a reflection of the esteem and accomplishments of our alumni and students.

Future Career Opportunity for PharmDs and PhDs

The pharmaceutical industry – my professional home for the past

19 years! It is, to me, a place with a human health mission to develop new medicines that save and improve the quality of life for millions of people and – with that mission – marries the worlds of breakthrough science and innovative business practices. Moreover, each company brings to its people and the marketplace its own mix of culture, talent, strategy, and future promise.

Those are factors that I took away from my fi rst industry experience at Abbott Laboratories. These factors drew me to pursue a career in the industry – factors that are still present today. With the emergence of new science and novel therapeutic strategies (e.g., cell therapy, gene therapy, DNA/RNA therapeutics, etc.) and living

in this disruptive era of healthcare reform, many more and diverse career opportunities for PharmDs and PhDs abound. New knowledge and skills – some to be acquired in school but most within the ethos of life-long learning and experience – are certainly required. The ability to work in a team environment, creatively problem solve, think strategically, build relationships, communicate well, and layer in business skills are all critical skills for young PharmDs and PhDs who are looking to establish successful careers in today’s and tomorrow’s pharmaceutical industry.

My career journey in the industry – from Abbott to Pfi zer to Purdue Pharma to my current employer, Johnson & Johnson, has spanned positions covering pharmaceutical science, clinical research, external research alliance management, and now in a health care quality measurement and policy business unit, I have witnessed the wonderful evolution of this industry and the ingenuity it demands of its people. Indeed,

participating in this industry brings with it, as in any industry, its myriad challenges of ethical considerations including one that is prominent now and will be in the future: the pricing of medicines. However, contributing to the solution of such business and ethical dilemmas is a signifi cant reason why I love working in this industry. From day one, I never looked back on my choice to pursue a career in the pharmaceutical industry. And today the industry, both present and future, offers even greater promise for those who choose to pursue careers within it.

University of Michigan College of Pharmacy2017 FACULTY EDITORIAL

When an opportunity to join the faculty at Michigan came, I could

NOT turn it down, and it has changed my life! Although I did not graduate a Wolverine, I am one now and am a firm believer that Michigan Pharmacy exemplifies the University motto “Leaders and Best.” I’ve actually been in pharmacy since high school, with my first pharmacy experience coming

from working behind the counter at the local “drug store.” After graduating with my BS and PharmD, I completed a research fellowship that allowed me to practice pharmacy and also gain research training in pharmacogenomics. This led to my first faculty appointment and allowed me to develop a translational science research program in mental health.

So, what makes this Golden Gopher think Michigan Pharmacy is so outstanding? There are many reasons, but most important is that despite being a “small” unit on campus, our faculty, students, and staff contribute

to groundbreaking research that spans the ENTIRE translational spectrum. Not only do our outstanding faculty make pioneering basic science breakthroughs in drug discovery and drug delivery, but we also have faculty conducting novel clinical trials and working on the “-omics” of pharmacy, including pharmacogenomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics.

Michigan Pharmacy is also leading efforts on innovative practice models involving the medication use process that have a direct impact on health care policy. Thus, from these few examples, you can see we do it all.

When I accepted the role of associate dean for research and graduate education last September, I had three goals in mind to accomplish, all of which I am positive will lead to greater innovation and collaboration for U-M Pharmacy. The first of these goals is to facilitate Team Science, which will allow our faculty to capitalize on their strengths and synergize their research

endeavors. The second goal is to assure that our faculty have the best opportunities for development. Lastly, my goal is to provide our graduate students and research trainees with novel interdisciplinary experiences.

Why these goals? Because pharmacy can be “Better Together” and we can build pharmacy-centric research centers which capitalize on the scientific diversity that we have within the College. By now you should have heard about the new precision health initiative for the University of Michigan. This initiative, supported by President Schlissel, is a great example of how the College of Pharmacy is leading some of these Team Science efforts already. In addition to being actively engaged in precision medicine

PRIORITIZING TEAM SCIENCE

interdisciplinary research, our faculty will be working with other schools and colleagues on campus to begin designing graduate programs within precision health, as well as providing patient and provider education regarding pharmacogenomics and precision medicine. Importantly, Pharmacy will be taking the lead on the implementation of pharmacogenomics within Michigan Medicine, and work collaboratively with our clinical pharmacists in the hospital, as well as clinicians and faculty within the Medical School to study the science of implementation. I firmly believe that by working as a team we can achieve great patient outcomes as we move this science from the bedside into practice. Pharmacy is front and center of this collaborative work and by embracing the principles of Team Science, we will continue to be leaders within these efforts. I think Bo Schembechler said it best when he said it’s “the team, the team, the team.”

Our faculty have also had an outstanding year in their research

efforts, and I am inspired by the innovation being shown by them. We can always do more. Providing newer faculty with resources to maximize their success, these efforts can grow. Lifelong learning is a central tenant in our curriculum, which also should apply to our senior faculty as we work to continually develop and grow our research programs.

While we work to create a rich Team Science environment for faculty with highly developed research programs, we also need to think about graduate education. Throughout my career, I have benefited from many excellent mentors, which is why mentoring the next generation is so important to me. Clearly we have some excellent mentors within the College of Pharmacy. For example, Professor Gordon Amidon was recently recognized as 2017 Mentor of the Year by the American Foundation for Pharmaceutical Education. This can also be seen by the national and international reputations of our graduate programs and the many achievements of our graduate students, fellows and other trainees.

As our research programs grow and diversify, our educational programs need to do the same, as innovation flourishes best in a diverse environment.

I hope that with these initial thoughts you can see why I feel Michigan Pharmacy is exceptional and only getting stronger. Our brilliant students, partnered with our outstanding faculty and strong administrative and alumni support are creating the perfect environment for creativity and innovation for all of our team science efforts. I feel humbled to be part of this this amazing institution and proud to say “Go Blue!”

our gratitude to the hundreds of alumni and friends who support the College’s education, research, and service missions. Without this fi nancial support, a Michigan College of Pharmacy education wouldn’t be accessible to many of our students and those extras that distinguish the Michigan Experience would be lost. Your support makes a daily impact on the lives of future researchers and healthcare professionals.

College of Pharmacy Endowment Update

The 2017-18 academic year is off to a great start and the College continues to be a world leader in research, education, and service. Thanks to the generosity of alumni and friends, our endowment at the end of this past fi scal year reached a new record: $119,867,847! These dollars will generate over $5 million for the College’s scholarship, research, and other academic programs this year.

We can also celebrate achieving our $20 million goal as part of the University’s “Victors for Michigan” campaign. The campaign offi cially goes into 2018, so we are hoping to signifi cantly surpass that goal!

More important than a dollar total is the impact that those dollars will have. To date, 27 new scholarships have been created at the College, we have new research funds, and a new endowed chair that will help us attract and retain world class faculty.

Looking to the future, the prospect of a new building is more than exciting! We will keep everyone abreast of our progress and communicate how to become involved with this historic achievement.

None of this can happen without the generosity and dedication of College alumni and friends. We are grateful and pledge to be faithful stewards of the resources you entrust to us.

Peter NiedbalaExecutive Director Pharmacy Advancement and External Relations

Over the years, generous gifts to the college created these funds that will provide support in perpetuity to students, faculty, and the College in general. Contributions can still be made directly to these funds.

Hough Family Scholarship Our daughter-in-law, Shannon Hough, PharmD’10, PharmRes’12, suggested that we establish the Hough Family Scholarship as part of the College’s Leadership Scholars Program – a leadership development program for pharmacy students, in which she participated as a student.As with all Hough Foundation student scholarships, our aim is to encourage excellence in learning and life-long societal contributions from those who receive support. Knowing that this scholarship affords opportunities for leadership and professional development, we are very pleased to establish it at the College.My parents, Richard Trevellyan Hough and Nancy Rambeau Hough, were both committed to providing access to higher education, especially for exceptional students who may not have the fi nancial resources to pursue their dreams. Both my parents were very philanthropic, and actually donated their entire estate to charitable interests. Amazing parents, amazing people!We hope that students who benefi t from the Hough Family Scholarship will enter the professional world with a dedication to excellence and integrity. Tomorrow’s pharmacy leaders will require strong ethical foundations in addition to the robust clinical expertise they will build as graduates of the University of Michigan.David R.

Dean Nancy A. Mason Scholarship FundMy husband, John, and I are excited to establish a scholarship for pharmacy students. The College of Pharmacy holds a very special place in my heart, since I received both my BS in Pharmacy and PharmD degrees there. The College of Pharmacy has given me so much - a wonderful education (including scholarships during my own PharmD program), a rewarding career, and most importantly, the opportunity to teach and learn from hundreds of bright young students. This scholarship my small way of giving back to the place that has been such an integral part of my life, and to “pay it forward” by assisting those who will undoubtedly become the future leaders and best in our profession.

THE ANNUAL FUND

Annual gifts from alumni and friends provide critical funds that are immediately available and vital for the success of the College. They help meet emerging challenges and contribute toward student aid, research opportunities, visionary initiatives, and much more.

In the past year, donations to the College’s Annual Fund helped supplement scholarships, underwrote career and leadership development activities for students, brought speakers to campus for the Dean’s Leadership Lecture Series, and funded other priorities. Every gift creates an impact and helps sustain the College’s educational, research, and service missions.
