On March 6th, Vyto Damasius was awarded the 2006 Sperandio Award in Shererville, Indiana. He was recognized in front of his family, friends and School of Pharmacy faculty and staff. The Glen J. Sperandio Award for Advancement of Pharmacy Practice was established in 1983 by the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at Purdue University on the occasion of Dr. Sperandio's retirement from 38 years of devoted service to pharmacy education and the profession. The initial presentation was made to Dr. Sperandio on March 16, 1984, at the School's Centennial Symposium.
The award recognizes a licensed pharmacist with a minimum of 10 years of service to the profession; an alumna/alumnus of Purdue University School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences; provides leadership in local, state and/or national professional or fraternal pharmacy organizations; assists pharmacy students and/or practicing pharmacists in advancing their careers; demonstrates innovations in the practice of pharmacy; participates in professional volunteer service activities within the community; and promotes pharmacy as a profession.
The School feels Vyto was uniquely qualified for this award because of his service to his community and the pharmacy industry in Indiana!
