Message from Dean Timothy S. Tracy Dear Alumni and Friends, In our mission statement, we state that, “As a flagship unit of the University of Kentucky, the College of Pharmacy creates knowledge and develops pharmacy practitioners and research scholars to improve patient outcomes and human health.” The UK College of Pharmacy lives that mission each and every day. Our students, faculty, staff and alumni are constantly working to positively impact communities across the state, nation and the world. Timothy S. Tracy, PhD, RPh Dean We will spend more time spotlighting those impactful stories in Focus on Pharmacy. We will tell our Pharmacy success stories from a variety of angles. For instance, in this issue, our cover story tackles the light side of student life here within the College, while highlighting the impact our students have on people. Two first-year students happen to share a passion for pharmacy and collegiate spirit. Ross Turner and Josh Pruitt are both college mascots in the Commonwealth, a story that shows how our students make a difference across the campus community. You will also learn about the research of Kim Nixon, assistant professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Nixon was one of 85 researchers recently announced as recipients of the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), the highest honor bestowed by the United States government on science and engineering professionals in the early stages of their independent research careers. Nixon was the only pharmacy faculty member of the recipients to receive the award. Nixon received the award for her groundbreaking work in how long-term alcohol abuse affects the human brain. Finally, I hope you are prepared to hear more from the College during the weeks and months ahead. I will be taking part in a statewide tour, visiting alumni and friends in communities across our Commonwealth. You can view my itinerary on the following page and I hope to see you at one of the stops. You also will be receiving a survey from us this year. The impetus for this assessment is simple: We want to hear from you. We want to know how we can better serve your needs – how we can advance the practice of pharmacy in Kentucky, across the nation and around the globe. Sincerely, Timothy S. Tracy, PhD, RPh Dean 2 Focus on Pharmacy
