SCHOOL OF PHARMACY
Second student ever to speak at recognition
By LISA TILSON correspondent@kansan.com KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
AT A GLANCI
This year will mark the second time that a student has spoken at the senior recognition and hooding ceremony for pharmacy school graduates, an addition made by Kenneth Audus when he became dean of the pharmacy school in 2004.
Nicolete Raya was chosen to speak at the ceremony this year by a committee for her community service, scholarship, involvement and leadership in professional organization activities and citizenship.
"Nicolette Raya has been a stellar representative of the University of Kansas and the KU School of Pharmacy during her four years as a student in our program," Gene Hotchkiss, associate dean of pharmacy, said. "She has been a role model for fellow pharmacy students and her leadership abilities have been demonstrated by example."
School highlights
The School of Pharmacy recognition and hooding ceremony will be held at 6 p.m. Saturday at the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall.
Raya said she will speak about how hard her class has worked, as well as reminiscing about the last four years.
The school was ranked No. 3 among all schools of pharmacy in the United States for national institutes of health funding in 2004. KU has been in the top three rankings for the last four years.
- In the first-ever ranking of doctor of pharmacy degree granting programs, the KU school of pharmacy was ranked at No. 17 (No. 16 among public schools) by US News and World Report in 2005.
Madison "AI" and Lila Self of Hinsdale, Illinois, established the Howard E. Mossberg Distinguished Professorship in Pharmacy in 2004. The professorship is named in honor of Howard E. Mossberg, Dean Emeritus of pharmacy at KU and will help KU and the school to attract an outstanding researcher and teacher in the area of pharmacogenomics.
The KU student chapter of the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) was named National Student Chapter of the Year for 2004 making it the fourth time in the last five years that KU has taken home the honor.
She said would also speak about professionalism and integrity.
"These are key if the profession is going to advance patient care and collaborate with other health care providers." she said.
Raya is graduating with distinction in the top 10 percent of her class. She was also featured in the KU Women of Distinction Calendar in 2004.
Holly Ruder is the top graduate of the class.
"Holly and Nicolette are both very bright, articulate and active in professional and community activities and are very representative of the entire top 10 percent of the class of 2005," Kenneth Audus, dean of pharmacy, said.
Matt Harrison, St. Louis senior, will graduate with Ruder and Raya. When looking back on his years at the University, he said one of his favorite memories was the basketball team making the finals.
"It was thrilling to see everyone celebrate that together and come together as a university," Harrison said.
He said he thinks his best memories will be celebrating accomplishments with classmates during graduation, but he has enjoyed working toward common goals with his classmates and going to class with the same people for the last four years.
Son Doan, left, and Erin Bailey, both "5-p" students in the School of Pharmacy, work in the Watkins Memorial Health Center pharmacy last week. The two look forward to graduating after one more year of pharmacy work. "After May of '06 I can get a job and I'll be making the big bucks," said Bailey.
