I am excited to have the opportunity to share with you some thoughts about the profession of pharmacy. I am a 1990 graduate from the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy, and I can state with most certainty that your UK College of Pharmacy consistently provides graduates of the highest quality to this state and other states. Why are we so fortunate? It is YOU who make this a reality. It starts with the grassroots effort that each of you should be performing on a daily basis. You are the face of pharmacy. Whether you work in the public eye or behind closed doors, the simple fact remains … people look at you as a role model. How can you further this legacy of being a role model for future graduates? It is a simple as two words….get involved. Upon graduation, I immediately made a conscious effort to stay involved with the College by attending sponsored events, participating in the interview process for admissions, serving as a preceptor for students, and contributing financially to the College. This has been extremely rewarding. These experiences have all allowed me to feel as part of a team, a team that is entrusted to educate UK College of Pharmacy students. I am sure many of you are already involved at some level with the College. By being involved, we are setting an example for past and future graduates. By expanding your involvement with the College, whether that involvement is of talent or of money, we will make the College even stronger than it is today. The education and experiences we received at the College provided a foundation for our success. It is our duty to continue this legacy. It is imperative you share your passion for the profession with others and that you show this passion at every opportunity. Accentuate the positives that the profession provided to you and will provide to the future alumni of the College. This is an exciting time for the College of Pharmacy! We are getting closer to occupying a premier education and research facility. We continue to graduate students who begin their professional careers armed with the best pharmacy education available. We have faculty who are dedicated educators and support staff that enables these students to be successful. By investing in your profession and by showing the PASSION that you have for pharmacy we will continue the legacy that our mentors provided for us. We are extremely fortunate to be able to call ourselves alumni of the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy. Share the legacy! Show the passion! Guest Column by Kevin Lamping Winter 2009 25
