Dean's Joint Advisory Council Meeting - June 6, 2008

On June 6, 2008, the Dean's Joint Advisory Council-comprised of the Industrial Advisory Council, Minority Advocacy Council, and Professional Advisory Council-met on campus to discuss various topics. Dean Craig Svensson, along with Drs. Holly Mason, Greg Knipp, Eric Barker, and Craig Davis, updated the members about what is happening in the School, including updates on the PharmD, BSPS, and Graduate Programs, as well as The Chao Center for Industrial Pharmacy and Contract Manufacturing. Provost Randy Woodson also spoke to the group about the university Strategic Plan. The members were divided into break-out sessions in order to discuss issues relevant to their expertise, such as the quality and safety initiatives and medication safety partnership of Indiana. Members had the chance to visit with one another during a lunch buffet, and Dean Svensson recognized the members who had completed their term of service. Guest speaker Danny Hope, Associate Head Purdue Football Coach, did an excellent job addressing the group. The meeting concluded with optional tours to The Chao Center and the Birck Nanotechnology Center.
