Marjie Biel, Jane DeJong, and Heather Sell are the recipients <strong>of</strong> the 2006 Robert K.<br />

continued support <strong>of</strong> experiential learning at <strong>Purdue</strong> <strong>University</strong>.<br />
Marjie, Jane, and Heather each serve as Regional Faculty Coordinators (RFCs). The<br />
Office <strong>of</strong> Experiential Learning has 13 RFCs who are responsible for overseeing a specific<br />
geographic region <strong>of</strong> the state, and it is the RFCs, along with the clerkship directors, who<br />
are responsible for revising, augmenting, clarifying, and implementing polices for the betterment<br />
<strong>of</strong> the clerkship program. All but these three women are full time or co-funded<br />
faculty members within the School <strong>of</strong> <strong>Pharmacy</strong> and Pharmaceutical Sciences. In addition<br />
to their full time pharmacy positions, these women have graciously volunteered to<br />
serve as RFCs for <strong>Purdue</strong>.<br />

Pharmacotherapy in 2002. She is the Director <strong>of</strong> Clinical Consulting Broadlane, a group<br />
purchasing organization based in Dallas, Texas.<br />
This award is in memory <strong>of</strong> Dr. Bob Chalmers (1937-2000), whose vision, passion,<br />
and dedication greatly enhanced experiential education. The School <strong>of</strong> <strong>Pharmacy</strong> and<br />
Pharmaceutical Sciences considers itself fortunate to have alumni who continue to share<br />
his vision and lead others by example. Congratulations, Marjie, Jane, and Heather!<br />
