The USP Legacy Society is, simply put, a family tradition. Started in 2006, the USP Legacy Society honors the many families who have attended the University. Hennessy family, joined by Daniel A. Hussar P’62, MS’64, PhD’67 (left) and President Philip P. Gerbino P’69, PharmD’70 (right): Kevin M. Hennessy PharmD’08, grandson (second from left), and Robert F. Hennessy P’53, grandfather. A legacy is defined as “any alumnus or student in a family with one or more generations of USP graduates both living and deceased. This includes alumni and students who are related by marriage.” The numbers are growing: 17 percent of our alumni (nearly 2,000 graduates) are “legacies.” And there are an estimated 63 current students with legacy connections. In what has become an annual tradition, the third USP Legacy Society event was held in conjunction with the University’s 187th Commencement activities in May. Visit www.usp.edu/legacy to learn more.

We have certainly grown in size over that time, with three new buildings and the quad, with student enrollment near 3,000, and with the breadth of our programs continuing to expand in response to student interest and to the growing need for quality healthcare. Also growing Adapting to the rapidly accelerating pace and expense of science and technology—and the impact this has on healthcare education, practice, and policy—has become a way of life for all of us. Adding to that the truly remarkable world-changing events of this past decade, and especially this past year, has left all of us with a heightened awareness of the need for sophisticated solutions to increasingly interconnected problems. That people who believe in our mission continue to come together to reaffirm and support our mission is truly what makes it possible for these students to become successful alumni. As evidenced by the generous commitments of those whose names are listed in this edition, that dedication continues to grow. On behalf of the students who will benefit from your generosity of spirit, I thank you. Sincerely, is the complexity of the environment in which we operate, as we prepare our students for their future careers as practitioners and policymakers, researchers and educators, and entrepreneurs and innovators. We are challenged each day to ensure that we are providing the very best opportunities for the professional and personal growth and development of our students and that a University of the Sciences’ education continues to be accessible—and affordable to them. It has become a hallmark of our thinking and planning that access to a University of the Sciences’ education must continue to be available to the many qualified students who seek to learn with us. Each one of you has been touched in some way by the life of one of our students, and each one of you will recognize the special motivation that inspires students to succeed here. Recently, I’ve had the privilege of hosting small groups of students and alumni together for breakfast meetings, and it has been wonderful to see the baton passing from one generation to the next.

GERBINO P’69, PharmD’70 By Brian Kirschner Over the last 10 years, the University has pressed forward with planned, sustained growth and continuously strives to meet the needs of the science and healthcare marketplace. The USP Bulletin sat down with President PHILIP P. GERBINO P’69, PharmD’70 to assess the last 10 years and think about what’s in store for the next 10 years and beyond. What would you say has been the biggest undertaking in the last 10 years? The conversion to a university both physically and conceptually was a University-community effort. You have to commend the entire community for sharing a vision and taking the appropriate steps forward to become a university. There was a shared vision that we needed to carve out a unique space in science, the health professions, and life sciences. We have remained mission-specific and stayed focused. Admittedly, there is more that we need to add and do. The University community is forward thinking and has an understanding of the challenges ahead. Philadelphia College of Pharmacy was founded based on the premise that pharmacy was a profession, grounded in the sciences, and that’s the conceptual and content basis on which this University was formed as an academic institution. To me, we are still relentlessly fulfilling that same mission in taking all our health professions, all our elements of life sciences, and building them on the basis of science so that they continue to thrive from a source of knowledge and expand and flourish as professions. Continued on page 4 Continued from page 3 Where do we go from here? That is to ask, what is University of the Sciences’ role? The marketplace will determine our growth. The healthcare space and the science space continue to expand on the basis of new innovations, new ideas, new needs, and new technologies. As the needs of the health professions, the needs of the sciences, the needs of the integrated sciences like biotechnology, and the integration of all of those continue to drive what we do, we will change dynamically. Market demand will drive us to create new programs, new ideas, new relationships, and new partnerships. In the last 10 years, steady growth could be one of the themes—we have grown the student body, added new programs and degrees, created strategic partnerships with Virtua and UArts, added the Mayes College of Healthcare Business and Policy—what else can be on the horizon in the next 10 years? We will expand or contract based on market forces, competition, and marketplace needs. The key is we will always remain within our mission and within our space. The GDP of healthcare is growing. It’s about 17 percent now, and it’s going to very quickly accelerate to 20 percent. Who knows? In the future, it may be 25 percent of the entire GDP. It is not only the size of the health sector that is growing but the diversity of new sciences and integrated sciences that are emerging. Much of this is being driven by innovations and new technologies. We will continue to grow within our mission boundaries. For areas that we can’t do ourselves, we will find partners to work with. We’ll find new ways to integrate new sciences and reach out to those students who have an interest in those disciplines. Those students may exist only selectively, so we must reach out to the entire region and accommodate all who can come here. Speaking of growth, in just the last few years, the campus has undergone a dramatic change with the addition of the ARC, the McNeil Science and Technology Center, green space...even the newly improved dining area. Looking ahead, what are some of the physical improvements that alumni and students may encounter when they visit five, 10 years down the road? I think they will see a university in action. They will see we have addressed the needs of student life by creating an environment that is requisite for scholarship and learning. They will see that we have continued to advance our technologies and facilities to meet the emerging and changing needs of science and the health professions. They will see that our students have first-class facilities, first-class equipment, and the opportunity to work with other disciplines so that all can share a rich and full educational experience. “Our intent here is to create not only the future healthcare and innovation workforce but also those leaders who will look at the healthcare markets to help find tomorrow’s solutions.” PHILIP P. GERBINO P’69, PharmD’70 Can you talk about how Legacy, Vision, and Value, our latest strategic plan, will help to shape our future? It’s more than just calling yourself a university. You have to live the dream of being a university. Within the strategic plan there are cultural elements. There are partnership and outreach arrangements. There are community elements. And there are research elements. There are a host of other elements that have also become part of our strategic imperatives within our strategic plan. As the elements of the plan converge then, it becomes the true living of the dream of what a health profession and science university should be. A university is not in its name; it’s in how it behaves and how it acts and how it comes together as a community and union of students, administrators, staff, and scholars. “A university is not in its name; it’s in how it behaves and how it acts and how it comes together as a community and union of students, administrators, staff, and scholars.” PHILIP P. GERBINO P’69, PharmD’70 usp bulletin: usp bulletin: a decade of growth page 5 Part of the University’s mission is active involvement with the local community. Can you talk about how that has grown and what more we can do? In today’s world it’s too easy to forget when you are immersed in a science or healthcare discipline who we actually serve. Without bringing the community into our thinking, we would be barren in achieving what we aspire. Today, we engage our students in service-learning, in working with the community, and in getting people to understand why we educate health professionals and caregivers and scientists who can innovate to cure the maladies of today and tomorrow. Why is fostering the development of research on a greater scale important to us? Because we are an institution of health professions and science, it is impossible for us to exist realistically without the creation of new knowledge. Although our plan is not to become a research-intensive university, we need to be engaging in a sufficient amount of research in our areas of expertise to stimulate the creativity of our existing professoriate, to engage our students in undergraduate and graduate research, and to fulfill our responsibilities in the areas where we have advanced degrees. Our focus is to expand knowledge in drug discovery, drug delivery systems, biotechnology, bioinformatics, health policy, and key related disciplines. The bottom line is that we need to be making contributions to knowledge and science and innovation in those areas where we have a density of expert faculty. “The bottom line is that we need to be making contributions to knowledge and science and innovations in those areas where we have a density of expert faculty.” PHILIP P. GERBINO P’69, PharmD’70 We are weathering financial market uncertainty and are planning for changing regional student enrollment trends. What are some of the future challenges the University will face? We suffer from the same challenges present within all higher education. But there are some areas where the challenges are daunting. The cost of higher education in science and health professions is extraordinary. Laboratory space, equipment, and all the associated costs continue to rise without abatement. For the University, we have to find ways to keep our tuition at a rate that is reasonable but relevant to our increasing costs. We need to continue to find ways to become much more efficient in what we do and better utilize our finite resources in really conservative ways so families can afford to send their children to an institution like ours. It’s all about how we stay efficient so we, too, don’t get caught up in uncontrollable healthcare cost escalation. We are very much a part of life science and healthcare. What people don’t understand is that not only are we part of the higher cost of education, but we are also part of the higher cost of the healthcare delivery system; so it creates a perfect storm. Ten years ago, could you have envisioned how technology has transformed the educational landscape as well as healthcare? I could not even come close to predicting the rapid acceleration of technology. But as a president, I do know that the cost of technology has an infinity sign at the end. There is no amount of money that you can spend to accommodate all of your technology needs. Being at the top end of providing technology to your students and faculty is like chasing a race car. How can the University leverage its strengths to address the healthcare needs of the future? Our intent here is to create not only the future healthcare and innovation workforce but also those leaders who will look at the healthcare markets to help find tomorrow’s solutions. That will be our contribution. It’s part of our mission. Commencement— From Students to Alumni Last May, University of the Sciences in Philadelphia’s Class of 2008 made the transition from students to alumni. Whether they left the University to continue their studies or enter the healthcare workforce as professionals, this exceptionally talented group builds upon the legacy of the University. Who are these graduates? They are represented in these five interviews—one from each college. Class of 2008 Commencement Snapshot Lakshmi Guruswamy HPsy’08 College of Graduate Studies How would you describe your experience at University of the Sciences, and what will you remember most? Overall, I really enjoyed my experiences at [the University]. The one thing I will remember the most about my experiences [there] is the faculty. I had such wonderful professors. They inspired me to work hard to achieve my dreams, and they also served as both mentors and professional role models. Where do you see yourself in five to 10 years? In the next five to 10 years I wish to obtain a PhD in clinical psychology. I hope to work with elderly patients suffering from depression and also help to culturally diversify the field of psychology. How do expect your degree from University of the Sciences will uniquely prepare you for your career? The intensive training I received at [the University] will be of great benefit to me in the future. The knowledge and the skills that I have gained through this program are invaluable. These skills will be carried with me throughout my professional life. “The intensive training I received at [the University] will be of great benefit to me in the future.” Lakshmi Guruswamy HPsy’08 • • • • • • • • • • • Total graduates 481 Degrees granted 490 Degrees awarded • Undergraduate 388 • Graduate 93 Dual-degree graduates 9 Men 174 Women 307 Age of youngest graduate 21 Age of oldest graduate 56 Number of states represented by graduates 18 Number of countries represented by graduates 5 Number of graduates with a 3.40 GPA or higher • Undergraduate 63 • Graduate 78 Breakdown of Degrees • • • • • • • • • BS 130 BS in Health Science 48 MBA 29 MOT 4 MPT 3 MS 46 DPT 4 PharmD 214 PhD 12 usp bulletin: commencement page 7 Steven DeVane PharmD’08 Philadelpha College of Pharmacy Why did you decide to attend the University to pursue your degree? Convenience. [University of the Sciences’] offering of a straight six-year program was the key reason why I chose the University. The straight six-year program enabled me to pursue my doctor of pharmacy degree without having to worry about taking the PCATs. The continuity of the program also allowed the development of close relationships with all the faculty at the University. Was there an experience, course, professor, or something else that impacted you the most? Why was that important to you? While on rotations during the final year of the program at USP, I had a rotation at a cardiac ICU. The experience and knowledge I gained there will never be forgotten, and the relentless effort that the preceptor gave to ensure my success will always be remembered and appreciated. What accomplishments are you most proud of? “The continuity of the [pharmacy] program also allowed the development of close relationships with all the faculty at the University.” Steven DeVane PharmD’08 Stacey Gorski BI’08 Being on Dean’s List consistently for five out of the six years while at the University, becoming the president of Alpha Lambda Delta and Phi Kappa Psi, and graduating from the University with honors. Misher College of Arts and Sciences What are your career plans after graduation? I began a PhD program this summer at the University of Virginia in its infectious disease department. As of this moment, I am primarily interested in two influenza labs and a lab investigating B. anthracis. After graduate school and postdoctoral work, I would like to work for a government agency (CDC/ NIH) or perhaps a private organization researching orphan/infectious diseases and applying my research to public health policy. “It was because of Dr. [Claudia] Parvanta that I learned about public health and how knowledge of some basic health science can be used to shape public health policy.” Was there an experience, course, professor, or something else that impacted you the most? Why was that important to you? During my sophomore year, I enrolled in medical anthropology, a course taught by Dr. Claudia Parvanta. Prior to this course, I was a bit lost in what career path I wanted to take. It was because of Dr. Parvanta that I learned about public health and how knowledge of some basic health science can be used to shape public health policy. After that I met my advisor and research mentor, Dr. Vandana Miller, who, in addition to teaching me all my laboratory skills, has become like a second mother. I owe a lot of my success at [the University] to both Dr. Parvanta and Dr. Miller. Stacey Gorski BI’08 Continued on page 8 Continued from page 7 “A lot of the faculty has connections throughout the pharmaceutical industry, and they are more than willing to share them with their students.” Jessica Litvan PMM’08 Jessica Litvan PMM’08 Mayes College of Healthcare Business and Policy How do you expect your degree from the University will uniquely prepare you for your career? My job requires me to know about the pharmaceutical industry, its components, and how they interact, and my curriculum at the University gave me a great understanding of just that. Another great thing about my major is that there are so many things that I can do with my degree. I can be in pharmaceutical advertising, marketing, sales, regulatory affairs, market research, and so much more. Everything that I have just mentioned I had a class on, and if there is something that particularly interests you, the professors are more than willing to help you find more information. Another great aspect of [the University] is the networking connections that you can build. A lot of the faculty Hong Vo HS’08 has connections throughout the pharmaceutical industry, and they are more than willing to share them with their students. In fact, it was through one of those connections that I found my job. What advice or insights would you share with a prospective student? My advice would be to work hard and absorb all of the information that you can from your professors because when you get out into the working world you will need to rely on everything you learned from your classes. Another very important aspect of your college career is time management. The sooner you learn to manage all of your classes, extracurricular activities, and social life, the better. After speaking with some of my fellow graduates, we have come to a consensus that the skills you learn in college really do carry through to the real world. Your experiences during your college career make you who you are as a person. This is the time when you should follow your interests and explore every opportunity. Take advantage of everything that the University offers, go study abroad, take a couple of classes at the University of the Arts, make friends, and live life to the fullest. University of the Sciences is a great place for you to learn, grow, make friends, and experience life. College of Health Sciences How would you describe your experience at University and what will you remember most? How do you expect your degree from the University will uniquely prepare you for your career? It was very challenging. Almost every class that I took at [the University] required students to write research papers as part of the course. This is the experience that I think every student here will also have. I think mostly I will remember when I leave here that I can easily write fivepage scientific papers. I think I will answer this question for all the students here at USP. The quality and expectations of this school are high. Therefore, if you earn a degree here, that degree will well represent you to the employers. “If you earn a degree here, that degree will well represent you to the employers.” Hong Vo HS’08 Where do you see yourself in five to 10 years? First, I plan to get my master’s degree in MT in the next couple of years. Then, I would like to be part of a management team. Those are my goals for the future. usp bulletin: education 2.0 page 9 Education 2.0 > Second Life platform provides innovative classroom experience > By April Hall Welcome to Education 2.0 > In 2006, MELANIE B. OATES, RN, MBA, PhD, assistant professor of pharmaceutical marketing and management, was paging through The Wall Street Journal and came across a piece about a new platform that was taking hold in the social networking realm. It was called Second Life, described by its developer, Linden Lab, as “not a game [but] the next evolutionary stage of the Internet. It merges many qualities of the Web, online games, social networking, user-generated content, creativity applications, and telecommunications technologies.” What caught her eye about Second Life was its increasing use not only by individual users but also by companies and universities. Dr. Oates registered for a free account and started making her way around the format’s islands, promenades, and malls. In the beginning, she recalls, “you really does not read newspapers or even watch had to be a geek to handle Second Life.” much television. Instead, they spend enorA self-described “compulsively curious” mous amounts of time online, and when scholar, Dr. Oates soon grew comfortable they find something there that they like, with its various iterations—social hangwhether a YouTube video or an interactive out, business opportunity, creative outlet, website, they’re apt to pass it along and classroom among to friends.

This stage is about “something engaging, less passive,” Dr. Oates said. After a year of noodling around on Second Life, Dr. Oates decided to take her theories about it to the next level. She created a pilot class. The idea was to offer a convenient meeting time and place and to be able to instantly implement ideas. The class took “field trips” together to other marketing sites, seeing which companies hit the mark and which didn’t. They paid particular attention to online healthcare marketing. It was the first time a virtual classroom with student interaction had been used in this way at University of the Sciences. Dr. Oates’s five students created “avatars” to represent themselves. Like Second Life “homes,” avatars can look however their users intend them to; some may be as others see them walking across campus, while others may be a more idealized version. Regardless of their avatars’ appearance, Dr. Oates’s students said learning in Second Life gave them invaluable experience in assessing and learning about 21st-century marketing. “It was a great way for the class to get together and discuss topics,” said Ben Fong PMM’08. “And we could multitask better.” If the class was looking for a good or a bad example of specific marketing, for instance, students could research examples and share them immediately with their classmates. Fong became so immersed that he also presented his senior thesis online in Second Life. It was a yearlong study of Internet and interactive marketing. BEN FONG PMM’08 “I’ve always really been into computers and the Internet,” he said. “I was all about it.” Dr. Oates believes her students need to be well prepared to enter the business world. It’s important for new graduates to be one step ahead of the current marketing theories, and working outside of traditional textbooks is key. “I bring up this class in every interview I’ve done,” Fong said. “It seems to go over well. Businesses want to be cost-effective while reaching their audiences.” usp bulletin: preventative medicine page 11 Preventative Medicine Faculty Commitment to Vaccine Policy Research Extends Beyond the Classroom Doors By Jessica D. Herr PharmD’00 When ROBERT I. FIELD, MPH, PhD, JD, was putting together the University’s annual spring health policy symposium, he didn’t have to look too far for a topic. The work that he and AMY B. JESSOP, MPH, PhD, were already doing on vaccines, coupled with the importance of the issue, made for an easy decision. “Vaccines are an extremely exciting and important area for the department to be involved in,” said Dr. Field, who chairs the Department of Health Policy and Public Health. “They are one of the keys to public health and are central to much of health policy.” The meeting, “The Future of Vaccines: Challenges, Successes, Opportunities,” held in May, was the fifth in a series of symposia on major challenges facing the U.S. healthcare system that Dr. Field and his colleagues have organized. The symposium included a panel of four of the world’s most prominent vaccine experts and was led by internationally renowned bioethicist Dr. Arthur Caplan. “[Vaccines] are one of the keys to public health and are central to much of health policy.” ROBERT I. FIELD, MPH, PhD, JD Dr. Field has focused much of his recent scholarship on vaccines. He has been a member of a working group of the Center for Vaccine Ethics and Policy since its inception in 2005. The center is a multidisciplinary group of academicians, public health officials, and industry representatives that is a joint venture of the Center for Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania, The Wistar Institute Vaccine Center, and the Vaccine Education Center at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Its mission focuses on education and policy analysis related to issues such as vaccine mandates, vaccine risks, ethical conduct of vaccine trials, pandemic preparedness, vaccine financing, and vaccine access in developing countries, all topics discussed during the May symposium. These topics also form the foundation of several of Dr. Field’s recent publications and presentations, which include analyses of mandates for the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine and of the bioethics of pandemic flu vaccine allocation strategies. While Dr. Field’s work focuses on health policy and ethics, Dr. Jessop, an assistant professor of health policy, studies primarily logistical issues, such as the delivery of vaccines to high-risk adults, barriers to vaccination among these patients, and strategies for overcoming these barriers. Prior to coming to the University, Dr. Jessop was the cofounder of and director of research and education at HepTREC, the Delaware Valley Hepatitis Treatment, Research, and Education Center, a position she still holds on a voluntary, part-time basis. On behalf of the Philadelphia Immunization Coalition, for which she serves as secretary of the board of directors, Dr. Jessop speaks to healthcare providers on various topics including vaccine recommendations and distribution and administration practices. Through her involvement in HepTREC, Dr. Jessop facilitates the provision of hepatitis vaccines to the Cambodian American Senior Association, The Consortium, and the New Pathways for Women Project, which The spring health policy symposium brought together a panel of the world’s most prominent vaccine experts. Visit usp.edu/symposium to learn more. arrange for administration by others. Dr. Jessop’s passion for vaccines is, one might say, infectious. Since she joined the University, she has enlisted the help of several students and faculty members from various departments and programs to assist at vaccine administration events. Dr. Field sees this work as a vital part of the University’s growing role in health policy and public health, both regionally and nationally. “As University of the Sciences continues to establish itself as a major center for research and scholarship in health policy, we must remain in the forefront of major challenges, such as shaping the future of vaccines,” he noted. “This is an exciting area, and it presents many opportunities for our development as a leader in American health policy.” alumni focus Looking Opportunity in the Face Aaron Siegel P’59 by Carol R. Cool “When opportunity knocks, take a close look.” That’s how AARON SIEGEL P’59 explains how being a Philadelphia Flyers fan led to a career in facility management and consulting. Siegel spent 10 years practicing retail pharmacy, specializing in orthopedic equipment and IPPB devices, before a friend who knew that Siegel was a big Flyers fan introduced him to team owner Ed Snider. Snider believed that for any team to be successful, it was important to get the community—especially the youth— to love the sport and understand it. He was interested in purchasing an ice rink in Villanova, Pennsylvania, and signed Siegel on as managing partner. In 1978 Snider approached Siegel with a new idea: selling team merchandise on the Spectrum concourse. Siegel’s retail experience made him a natural to manage this new division, which became the Spectrum Showcase Stores. A short time later, the Spectrum was having ice troubles. Snider again turned to Siegel. Thanks to the physics he learned at University of the Sciences, Siegel was able to solve the problem and was soon named vice president of operations for the Spectrum. A promotion to president and CEO came in 1982. His tenure at the Spectrum, and then as COO of Spectacor Management Group (SMG), followed by a stint as president and CEO of SMG International, stationed in London, brought more opportunity to impact the sports world. He advised the National Bureau of Standards on “When opportunity architectural designs knocks, take a for crowd control, close look.” developed large-scale AARON SIEGEL P’59 events, and managed stadium projects at home and abroad. This work included introducing American-style stadiums to Europe and Asia, which Siegel considers his proudest professional achievement. But it was another case of “opportunity knocking” that gave Siegel his most rewarding personal achievement. After leaving SMG and 10 years as a consultant for entertainment and sporting facilities and events, Siegel was approached by the Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge, a nonprofit “dedicated to teaching young people the principles upon which our nation was founded,” to become president and CEO. “I have a warm spot for our country’s history and our democracy,” said Siegel, “and it concerns me that young people know so little about our history.” He agreed to come on board for five years, a time he refers to as his “give-back period.” Siegel implemented marketing and public relations plans to establish more foundation chapters throughout the U.S. He also created fundraising campaigns to provide scholarships to bring 10,000 kids to Valley Forge from all over America to learn U.S. history and our constitutional rights and responsibilities. “I helped students understand the principles on which our country was founded and the relevance of our Constitution,” he said. In 2007 Siegel established his third startup company, Siegel Ventures, working with such clients as the International Rugby Association to bring professional rugby to America. Siegel credits the University for much of his business success, even though he hasn’t practiced pharmacy for 30 years. Learning the scientific method has helped him think clearly and rationally. When he identifies a problem, he asks himself if he can bring a solution to it. “If no one else is interested, I start the business myself,” said Siegel. With an attitude like that, it seems opportunity will continue knocking on Siegel’s door. usp bulletin: alumni focus page 13 Super Bowl MVPT Mike Dunne MPT’01 By Tom Kupfer MIKE DUNNE MPT’01 went to Super Bowl XLII in Arizona last February and came back with the Vince Lombardi Trophy. How does a university without a football team send an alumnus to the Super Bowl? Easy: Dunne served on the champion New York Giants’ medical staff and was a key component of the team’s success. Becoming a physical therapist and certified athletic trainer (PT/ATC) was a realistic way for Dunne to be part of a professional sports team without needing superior coaching or athletic skills. As an independently contracted PT/ATC for the Giants since the 2004 preseason and a loyal fan, he said the highlight of his job is “getting the players back on the field after they’re injured from Sunday’s game.” During the 2007 season, Dunne faced the challenge of balancing a full-time commitment at Optimum Orthopedics with the Giants’ demanding schedule, as well as expecting a baby with his wife, KATIE (COONEY) MPT’01. The Giants’ late-season success and unexpectedly deep playoff run certainly didn’t help matters— not that Dunne was complaining. As Super Bowl underdogs, the Giants knew it was going to take a full team effort—from the offensive line to the medical staff—to beat the undefeated New England Patriots. The game remained astonishingly close through all four quarters until Giants’ quarterback Eli Manning completed a touchdown pass to wide receiver Plaxico Burress with 35 seconds on the clock to give them the win, 17-14. “The locker room and game itself were intense,” recalled Dunne. “The entire week in Arizona was exciting and exhausting. And the fans seemed to really enjoy such a great game.” Winning the Super Bowl would turn out to be the second most exciting thing to happen to Dunne this year. Katie gave birth to the couple’s son, Brayden Michael, on March 8. The Giants entrust their team’s health and resiliency to a network of doctors and specialists, along with a medical staff that travels to every game. The traveling medical staff consists of orthopedic surgeons, athletic trainers (including Dunne), and a chiropractor. “[I enjoy] getting the players back on the field after they’re injured from Sunday’s game.” Mike Dunne MPT’01 & Alumni Reunion 2008 President Philip P.

SHERWEN, PhD, RN, FAAN, the new dean of the College of Health Sciences brings more than impressive credentials. While her experience in health sciences is extensive and diverse, it is her passion, vision, and ability to turn dreams into reality that are most extraordinary. Dr. Sherwen’s passion includes creating new entities and structures in healthcare education. Her vision in higher education is to develop programs for students to learn vital healthcare services, programs in which faculty members are great teachers and clinicians, as well as scholars and researchers. As far as turning dreams into reality, her accomplishments speak for themselves. As dean of the Schools of the Health Professions at Hunter College of CUNY, Dr. Sherwen played an important role in the merger of its School of Nursing with its School of Health Sciences in the quest to better serve students, faculty, the college, and the community. The merger gave Dr. Sherwen the opportunity to lead the creation of four new doctoral programs— in physical therapy, audiology, nursing, and public health. At the same time, she created the Office of Research and Grant Support, which helped faculty with research grants. “I am proud to have the opportunity to help move the University forward by giving the faculty greater opportunities as visible scholars and researchers—moving the school to even greater heights.” LAURIE N. SHERWEN, PhD, RN, FAAN “The end result was a school with excellent, practical health professions programs that better serve students’ needs. It also had an effective support program for faculty that significantly increased grant production in the school,” explained Dr. Sherwen, whose experience also includes tenures as dean of the School of Nursing at The College of New Jersey and director of the graduate nursing program at Thomas Jefferson University’s School of Health Professions. What’s more, Dr. Sherwin has a proven track record in academic leadership and experience in scholarship, publication, and research, with expertise ranging from allied health and nursing to public health. She is renowned for her investigations into perinatally transmitted HIV infection, her true calling as an academic administrator. This gives her the opportunity to use her impressive, diverse background toward developing quality health professions programs in combination with research and scholarly activities. To this end, University of the Sciences seems a perfect match. Dr. Sherwen is looking at the goals of attracting more students and professional affiliations and collaborations, of giving the University more visibility, and of developing faculty and research. While Dr. Sherwen has many personal interests, including traveling, working with animals, and a love of the Philadelphia area, she is currently focused on her upcoming opportunities as dean. She is impressed with the University and looks forward to helping the University move on to the next pinnacle. “University of the Sciences is well known for its clinical education,” Dr. Sherwen noted. “It has graduated extraordinary students and leaders. The faculty consists of great teachers and excellent clinicians. I am proud to have the opportunity to help move the University forward by giving the faculty greater opportunities as visible scholars and researchers—moving the school to even greater heights.” Based on Dr. Sherwen’s experience, passion, vision, and history of making things happen, expect her to do just that. bulletin board Faculty Appointments 1.

She keeps high marks in the pharmacy and pharmacology doctoral program, works at Pennsylvania Presbyterian Medical Center and, in her free time, does turns on the catwalk. Wall, a 21-year-old Nanticoke, Pa., native, has been modeling for several years, most recently darting around the country every weekend to show off bridal garb in fashion shows. Her modeling work paid off when Wall was named this year’s winner of “Philadelphia’s Next Top Model,” a competition run during the spring by the city’s CW Network affiliate. The online competition was a marketing takeoff of the hit show America’s Next Top Model. Wall didn’t know about the competition until a friend announced she was entering. Other friends encouraged Wall to throw her hat into the ring as well. She gathered a few photographs together and submitted them online. Another friend posted a Facebook page to collect votes, and soon she found herself among the top 12 contestants, at which point she was brought in for an interview. “Basically [the trip] will be a vacation. I don’t have to do anything for them,” she said. “They asked me what I was doing in Philadelphia, and I told them I was a student and that was my focus. I walked out and thought they wouldn’t choose me,” Wall recalled. But, of course, the modeling agencies continue to call, and Wall continues to make some appearances when she has time. Don’t think that her dedication to her studies or the time she spends modeling keeps her from counting her blessings, though. “I was grateful and ecstatic to win,” she said. “But without the support of my family and friends, this wouldn’t be as rewarding.” Happily, she was mistaken. Among the prizes Wall won was a feature role in a taping of a summer fashion segment in connection with Moore College of Art & Design, which aired three times over the summer on the CW. Another prize is a vacation in Beverly Hills to visit modeling agencies, though Wall is not planning on a dedicated modeling career. New Look for Griffith Hall Lobby Anyone who has walked through Griffith Hall recently was sure to notice a new look for the lobby area. Thanks to the generosity of JEROME S. GOODMAN P’58, HonDSc’93, the entranceway now boasts a distinctive divider. In addition to the goldlettered signage, the enterance way offers visitors a presentation of the Daniel Chester French bronze statue of Abraham Lincoln that was a gift from J.K. LILLY PhG’1882. Walking around the divider, one finds a tribute display to former pharmacy dean LINWOOD F. TICE PhG’29, BSc’33, MSc’35. bulletin board Fond Memories of Professor White During his 42 years of service at University of the Sciences, Professor FRANCIS M. WHITE touched the lives of thousands of students. The former Department of Biological Sciences chair passed away on June 13 and is remembered by some of his former students. “I will always remember during zoology class in the fall of 1975 Prof. White telling us repeatedly to stiple, don’t shade. I will also remember the smell of the dogfish sharks we worked on for several weeks during that semester.” dr. shivaun a. celano p’80 “I would just like to say that being a ‘graduate assistant’ for undergraduate zoology, under Prof. White, was one of the more memorable experiences I had while a student at PCPS. Frank was a stern and exacting taskmaster, but he always had a smile and a kind thing or a joke to tell us. He showed us how to be good ‘teachers’ and how to correct errors without being critical. He taught his assistants many valuable lessons, which served us all well in later life. He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten by any who knew him.” thomas h. f. smith ms phcog’56, phd ph/tx’61 “Prof. White was my first instructor when I started my PCPS experience in September 1952. [He was] always demanding and receiving respect from his students and, later, his lifelong friends as alumni. I have always considered him my very close friend, although our meetings were sparse. On several open house days, I made an effort to go to his department and say hello. He always greeted me with a smile and always made me feel special, making me feel he remembered me. While he was alive, I always felt I was still that 18-year-old student. Now that he has passed, I am beginning not to feel so young anymore.” Making Sweet Music The beautiful notes and chords emanating from the practice room in Wilson Hall are a gift from the Heiberger family, who donated a 1992 Baldwin baby grand piano to the University of the Sciences music program last spring. “After the Baldwin arrived, some students began to show up regularly for long practice sessions,” kim robson, MM, assistant professor of music, wrote to the Heiberger family. “This gift has inspired, motivated, and provided artistic comfort already to many science-bound USP students. It will no doubt be cherished and played by many more young USP musicians to come.” enrico doganiero p’56 Turning the Page With a resume that includes management of more than 600 college and university bookstores, Barnes and Noble took over the University’s bookstore at the start of the fall semester. While the traditional B&N green awnings are not there, the service and expertise of the national retailer are a welcome addition to the campus. * Denotes five or more years of consecutive giving usp bulletin: bulletin board page 19 From microscopes to keyboards Former trustees Pat and Bob Gussin are exploring similar second careers as novelists. by Thomas W. Durso As senior executives with Johnson & Johnson, former University of the Sciences trustees PATRICIA and ROBERT GUSSIN did their share of writing. By the time they retired, eight years ago, Pat was worldwide vice president for research and development for J&J’s consumer products division, while Bob was the company’s chief scientific officer. One shudders to think of the number of words contained in the reports, memos, and scientific documents they drafted over the years. The Gussins, though, have kept writing, up until retirement and well into it. But their words these days are more likely to be found in books read on the beach than journals pored through in the lab. The itch reached Bob after he began accompanying Pat to mystery writers’ conferences. At one of them, he heard the acclaimed novelist and columnist Carl Hiaasen; at another, authors Tim Dorsey and Randy Wayne White. Excited by what he had heard, Bob began working on his novel, Trash Talk, a humorous work that combines his love of sports and his interest in environmentalism. It was published in late 2006. The bug bit him so strongly that he is now contemplating which of three books to write next. Two years ago Pat Gussin published Shadow of Death, a thriller that recalls her days in medical school in Detroit amidst the turbulence of the late 1960s, after working on the book for about a decade. It was a finalist for Best First Novel in the International Thriller Writers’ 2007 Thriller Awards. Gussin followed it up late last year with Twisted Justice, featuring the same protagonist, and she will publish a third thriller with a medical focus, The Test, next year. “I don’t think I would have had this second career if I didn’t have a first career, because I think it was the first career— living through so many experiences, both in medicine and in the pharmaceutical industry and in all the different associations I’ve worked with—that gave me the tools to go ahead and write and to mix and match,” she said. “I have to say that I love them both. I loved every minute of my career in medicine and science, and I’m loving every minute of this, too.” “When you write fiction, you just let your mind loose.” ROBERT GUSSIN “The last thing in the world you ever wanted in your scientific medical stuff was anything that anybody would accuse of being fictional,” Bob said. “We had written factual stuff for so long, and you have to have the facts and you have to have the formula, etc., etc. There’s not a lot of room for creativity. When you write fiction, you just let your mind loose. You can be anybody you want; you can do anything you want. It’s just fun. Your only limitation is your own mind. It’s a real freewheeling feeling, and it’s very exciting to be able to do that.” scholarly activity symbols Faculty and staff = F college of graduate studies Alumni = ] Presentation Current Student = M michael marchettiF, lorranine cellaF, karinne lindnerF, Grant college of health sciences Poster Presentations Other Collaborators = s academic advising Presentation jamie s. mcclintockF, “Applying Theory to Pedagogy: What Advisors Are Doing” at the National Academic Advising Association Region 2 Annual Conference, April 16. “Listen and Deliver: Tips for Implementing a Prospect Communication Plan” at the National Association of Graduate Admissions Professionals (NAGAP) Annual Conference in Denver, May 1.

Finding Funding Dr. Adeboye Adejare draws on his role as a grants reviewer to offer advice on winning proposals By Thomas W. Durso As a member of National Science Foundation, National Academy of Sciences, and National Institutes of Health grant review panels, Adeboye Adejare, PhD, chair of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, helps to determine which projects get funded and which ones get shuffled to the “thanks-but-no-thanks” pile. Along the way Dr. Adejare, himself a prolific and well-funded researcher, has gleaned some insights on what makes for a grant application that is likely to gain reviewers’ attention. First and foremost, it is the potential impact of the work being proposed, not the technical details of the experiment, that carries most of the weight. “Always, always, significance plays a major role,” he stressed. “The key thing I look for is, will this move the field forward?” If the answer is yes, Dr. Adejare proceeds to review the qualifications of the researchers. This helps to determine whether the scientists have the expertise and temperament to carry out what they are proposing. “Based on the investigators’ CVs and previous performance, one can make a reasonable statement as to level of confidence in completing the project,” he said. “I’m not as picky on the details of the experimentation. ‘Oh, they propose using acetone instead of ethyl acetate.’ Some people get all worked up over details like that. I tend not to. I look at the big picture in scoring the grant, though I would point out details that need attention.” That said, Dr. Adejare’s time reviewing grant proposals has led him to conclude that researchers can do a few things to buff their proposals and increase their chances of getting funded: Pay attention to the program announcement and follow instructions. With typically only 10 percent of proposals getting the green light, this is sage advice. “It sounds simple, but believe me, this is major,” he said. “If you give the reviewers any excuse to put your proposal aside, they will.” Continued on page 25 scholarly activity daniel a. hussarF] •“New Drug Update” at the Delaware County Pharmacists Association, Springfield, PA, January 16; at the Colorado Pharmacists Society Winter Meeting, Snowmass, CO, January 20; at the American Pharmacists Association Annual Meeting, San Diego, March 14 and 17; and at the Campbell University School of Pharmacy/Mutual Wholesale Drug Company Spring Seminar, Raleigh, NC, April 13. •“New Drugs of 2007” at the Iowa Pharmacy Association Educational Expo, Des Moines, January 27; at the Connecticut Pharmacists Association Midwinter Conference, Southington, CT, February 7; at the California Pharmacists Association Outlook Conference, Sacramento, February 9–10; at the University of Rhode Island College of Pharmacy Annual Seminar by the Sea, Newport, RI, March 6; and at the Massachusetts Pharmacists Association Spring Conference, Westborough, MA, April 10. •“New Drugs of 2007” at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy Symposia on Advances in Pharmacy Practice, Plains, PA, February 17; Camp Hill, PA, February 24; and Philadelphia, March 30. •“New Drug Update 2008” at the Illinois Council of Health-System Pharmacists Spring Meeting, East Peoria, IL, April 12, and at a Grand Rounds Presentation, Moses Taylor Hospital, Scranton, PA, May 7. • “Pharmacologic Toxicity in the Elderly” at the Temple University School of Medicine’s 32nd Semi-Annual Family Practice Review, Philadelphia, May 1. laura a. mandosF, “Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Current Treatment Options and Future Directions” at the Alpha Zeta Omega Continuing Education Seminar, Philadelphia, PA, March 9. sarah a. spinlerF, “Turning a Poster or a Residency Project Into a Publication” at the American College of Clinical Pharmacy Spring Practice and Research Forum, Phoenix, April 8. shanaz tejani-buttF, “The Wistar-Kyoto Rat: A Model for Studying Psychiatric Disorders” at Temple University, Center for Substance Abuse Research, Philadelphia, April. craig b. whitmanF, “Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy (Ischemic Heart Disease, Heart Failure, and Arrhythmias)” at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, April 26.

Continued from page 23 A corollary to this advice is to begin one’s proposal well in advance; there are simply too many good ideas to assume that an interesting concept alone will carry the day. “You can’t just wake up and put something together,” said Dr. Adejare. Have someone review your proposal before your submit it. “We get very consumed by what we are writing,” he noted. “I write something and then three days later, I look at it again and say, ‘What? I missed that! How could I have missed that?’ So I suggest that after writing a section, leave it alone for several days and then review it.” Finally, don’t expect to get funded. “Certainly not the first time,” Dr. Adejare said. “Just do the best you can, throw it in, and see what happens.” First-time funding is a rarity, he added, but oftentimes, reviewers will give good comments, giving researchers the chance to do better upon resubmission. “We get very consumed by what we are writing.

Rosa recalls spending his early years at PCPS attending classes in a building at 125 North 10th Street, in Philadelphia. The move of the college to University City was made in the late 1920s, and it would be many years before campus life began to resemble the vibrant experience it is today. He attained the highest GPA in his graduating class, earning him the right to be called a “Distinguished Student.” Graduation exercises were held in the new building, and after the festivities, many of the graduates went to their workplaces, and others back to their homes. Rosa started to work for Johnson & Johnson as a chemist as the Great Depression was taking shape, though it would not be until 1935 that the hard times caused J&J to lay off production workers; the technical workers soon followed. At the time of the layoffs, the employees were let go with the understanding that they would be recalled to their old jobs. Rosa received his recall notice and returned to his former position at Johnson & Johnson. By this time, space flight vehicles were being manufactured by RCA, and a chemist friend wanted to know if Rosa had any interest in working on weather satellites. Rosa accepted the position and eventually retired from RCA in 1973. “When something is in the air, like [the space program], that’s a new, evolving thing, everyone wants to get into it,” Rosa said. “I had a blast.” class notes michele (parlatti) ponik p’00 lives with her husband, Keith, and their children, Skylar and Chase, in Bayonne, NJ.

Although the work of building and sustaining a great institution is never done, growth requires a solid foundation. Thankfully, University of the Sciences, founded 188 years ago, has just such a foundation. Because our growth is planned, sustainable, and supported by our many constituents, the institution is strong and ready to move ahead. Today, because of your support, University of the Sciences has more than 145 full-time faculty, five colleges, and over 100 state-of-the art laboratories, including the Center for Advanced Pharmacy Studies, and the West Center for Computational Chemistry and Drug Design, focusing on the application of computational methods to chemical and biological problems. These are among the campus resources that support the education of the University’s almost 3,000 current students and its mission of improving society by educating and inspiring the next generation of leaders, innovators, and professionals. Our goal is to make University of the Sciences a realistic choice for all talented students, without regard for the cost. With the generous support of committed donors, we will harness the greatness of our past, strengthen the prominence of our present, and transform this institution for the future. Again, thank you for the commitment and dedication that you have exhibited to University of the Sciences and its students. Sincerely, Delbert S.

Curry, LaRocco Receive Baseball Honors Outfielder MICHAEL CURRY PharmD’08 was named to the American Baseball Coaches Association/ Rawlings Division II Northeast Region second team, the all-Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference first team, and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association’s All-Northeast Region second team. Curry became the first baseball player from the school to earn a first-team all-conference nod since the University joined the CACC in 1999 and the first ever to receive a spot on an ABCA all-region squad. Both Curry and designated hitter PETER LAROCCO PharmD’11 were named to the 2008 Daktronics Northeast Region Baseball Team as second-team selections. Cross-country runner JOY AIFUWA PharmD’10 was named the 2007–08 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Aifuwa’s selection as the CACC Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year is the third consecutive year a Devil has earned this honor. Women’s basketball player Shelby Rance PharmD’09 earned the honor in 2006–07, while volleyball player Emily Roth PharmD’08 was named in 2005–06. Last season softball pitcher RACHEL MORGAN PMM’09 shattered the school’s single-season strikeout record, fanning 138 on her way to a second-team all-conference selection. Morgan still has two seasons of softball eligibility remaining, so she is trying to decide whether to go straight to law school or obtain her master’s first. “I definitely have a nice little stretch ahead of me, don’t I?” she said with a laugh. The accomplishment was evidence of a single-minded determination to win each and every battle she enters. If history is any guide, Morgan will simply pick up the ball and keep throwing strikes. Is it any wonder that law school might be Morgan’s next stop following her graduation next May? “Softball pitchers have a whole different attitude,” she said. “On the field as a person, you’re really competitive, you’re really dedicated to what you do, because you really can’t slack off in practicing. You have to be on top of it. Dealing with that and then dealing with the type of industry I want to go into and the kind of career that I want to pursue, they tie in together in the kind of attitude you need to have toward the rest of your life.” The Clackamas, Oregon, resident was attracted to University of the Sciences because of its softball program, notable alumni base, and historical attachments to Philadelphia. Cross-Country’s Aifuwa Named CACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year To be eligible for the award, nominees must have performed with distinction on their teams and possess legitimate athletic credentials. The nominees must have attained a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 and be considered a credit to their institutions. Making Her Pitch MICHAEL CURRY PharmD’08 Morgan’s curriculum as a pharmaceutical marketing and management major and a summer internship with IMS Health, the pharmaceutical market research firm, sparked an interest in drug development. As a pharmaceutical attorney, she envisions a career involved with things as varied as corporate buyouts, mergers and acquisitions, and patents. “I’m fascinated with the entire process that goes into creating just one drug,” Morgan said. “How things take place, and what has to take place in order for something to be approved by the FDA. The whole industry really interests me. A lot of people who aren’t working in the industry have a certain perspective on it, and then when you actually learn more about it you understand it better. I like to get that perspective on it.” “I’m fascinated with the entire process that goes into creating just one drug.” RACHEL MORGAN PMM’09 Study Life on an Intimate Scale.
