Silver Anniversary Celebrations
A special milestone is upon us – the 25th anniversary of the School of Pharmacy is being celebrated from September 1, 2011 through August 31, 2012.
Flashback to September 1986. That's when for the first 25 students began classes on the first floor of the Health Sciences Centre under the leadership of the school's first director, the late Dr. Gerald R. Duncan.
With the School of Pharmacy turning 25 brings the opportunity to reflect on all that has been accomplished.
Since 1990, we have graduated 745 students. We are proud to know that they now work in every corner of our province and country, as well as around the world, in all aspects of pharmaceutical practice and research.
The education of pharmacists in Newfoundland and Labrador is second to none thanks to the many people who have played a role in its ongoing development.
Individuals – students, alumni, staff, faculty, preceptors – professional organizations and industry have all had a part in the school's advancement.
The School of Pharmacy owes much to the outstanding leadership of its Directors and Dean – Dr. Gerry Duncan, Dr. Chris Loomis and Dr. Linda Hensman – each of whom has played pivotal roles in creating a tradition of excellence in pharmacy education.
Celebration activities marking this amazing milestone will be held throughout the year.
Please stay tuned to learn all of the details as they unfold.
We look forward to celebrating with all of you!
