Welcome to the College of Pharmacy website!
As Dean of the College of Pharmacy, I am proud to lead a dynamic and dedicated team of faculty, staff, and students who are committed to excellence in education and research. Our goal is to prepare the next generation of pharmacists to be leaders in their field and to make a positive impact on the health and well-being of the communities they serve.

We are also committed to advancing the field of pharmacy through research and collaboration. Our faculty members are involved in a wide range of research projects, and our students have the opportunity to be involved in research as well.
