II | Summer 2011

As we enter a time of transition it is great to reflect on all the great things that have happened with us over the last several months. Spring semester is a time of excitement and service here at Lipscomb. We truly believe learning simply cannot take place in the classroom, the czzollege’s Missions and Community Service Program helps bridge the gap between instruction and hands-on experience in a safe but challenging cross-cultural experience that simply cannot be duplicated in class sessions.

As you will see in the following pages, the college goes one step further by providing student pharmacists with opportunities in local service learning in order to develop leadership skills for a life of Christian service. More than two-thirds of the student pharmacist population has participated in service while at the College of Pharmacy. This year students served for the following organizations:

In addition to service day, the college has had many exciting events celebrating students:

More than a dozen student pharmacists took to the stage to show off any number of talents ranging from a yo-yo exhibition to a full metal band. The night consisted of eleven student pharmacist performances, two special guest performances, door-prizes and a “pill” counting competition. The audience responded with laughs, cheers, and genuine surprise at so much hidden talent from each of the participants.

Throughout the night, several faces took to the spotlight. Kyle Williams served as host/emcee and comic relief for the event, and Dr. Tom Campbell, Dr. Zac Cox and Dr. Sarah Uroza made up the panel of ever-witty judges. Student pharmacist performers included Ben Turner, Lauren Thompson, Brittany Huffman, Nena Bowman, Stephen

LUCOP’s Got Talent

On April 7, 2011, faculty, staff, students and friends gathered in Collins Alumni Auditorium for the Lipscomb University College of Pharmacy’s first annual student pharmacist talent exhibition, aptly named LUCOP’s Got Talent!, presented by Kappa Psi.

LeMarr, Todd Garrett, Julie Dee Dodson, Delanie Sullivan, Eric Hitch, Jake Boswell, Patrick Nickell and Savannah Roberts. Special guest performances included Adrienne Christensen, Dr. Michael Fowler, Joel Campbell and Kenneth Coca.

After the judges submitted their votes and all the votes had been tallied, Kappa Psi recognized the top three performances. There was a tie for 3rd place between Julie Dee Dodson for her performance of

“Sweet Georgia Brown” and The Vasopressors, made up of Eric Hitch, Jake Boswell,and Patrick Nickell, featuring John Jantz, for their “Drum Solo/Metal Medley” performance. Both of these acts received $50 cash prizes. The 2nd place prize went to Savannah Roberts for her rendition of “Praying for Time”, earning her $100 cash, and the $150 1st place cash prize was awarded to Todd Garrett for his side-splitting performance of “The LUCOP Song/Achy Breaky Heart.”

We want to give a special thanks to all those that came out to support this event. We look forward to seeing you again next year as again we see if LUCOP’s Got Talent!

Lipscomb UniversityathleticsalongwiththeA-Sun conference initiated competitions between the six colleges at Lipscomb to see who could bring the most fans out to support the Lady Bisons at a home bas-ketball game. The prizes to be awarded were two $1,500 scholarships for students. “Anytime we can do something for our studentpharmacistswejumpatthechance,” said Dean Roger Davis as he led the way with an inspirational music video—facepainted,purpleandgoldhair and all. He was quite entertaining and motivating.

Hundreds of College of Pharmacy faculty,staffandstudentpharmacistsshowed up to cheer on the Lady Bisons. What a fun night! At the end

of the competition, the College of Pharmacy had more fans attend a Lady Bisons game than any other college. The Lady Bisons won, we all had a ton of fun in the process, and earned two $1,500 scholarships for student pharmacists!

on the afternoon of may 10 students, faculty and staff along with their families gathered at Granny White Park for the annual End-of-the-Year Picnic. It was a time to celebrate the successful completion of another academic year, enjoy some delicious food and spend a few hours relaxing amidst the stress of finals.

At the picnic we welcomed the newest members of the College of Pharmacy family. A host of new babies have joined the families of our students, faculty and staff, and were most definitely the star attraction. No doubt the future of pharmacy is secure with these tiny future pharmacists.

There were some uninvited guests, however. The 13-year cicadas had emerged in middle Tennessee, but fortunately not too many of them attempted to crash the party. A fun time was had by all!

christian heritageGrowing up in Florence, Ala., my family and I were members of Mt. Moriah Primitive Baptist Church. It was there that I learned that one of the ways that I could live my life in a manner pleasing to God was by serving others. I was able to continue this service to others during my undergraduate education at Rhodes College, where my faith in and relationship with God were strengthened through their Search and Life educational tracks. As a Rhodes College Burch Scholar, I taught GED classes at a local church multiple nights per week. It was during these moments that I discovered my call to teach.

Upon graduating from Rhodes College and acceptance to pharmacy school, I knew that my passion and calling were to teach and conduct research at a college of pharmacy. I am blessed beyond measure to be able to live out my passion and calling each day at Lipscomb University College of Pharmacy. I hope that as I live out my passion for teaching, research and pharmacy, Lipscomb University College of Pharmacy student pharmacists will seek their own calling and passion in life and make a commitment of life-long service to not only the profession of pharmacy but also their communities.

ScriptMagV3n2.indd 6 7/11/11 12:01 PM

as we sat in dean’s hour only a few weeks into our first semester of pharmacy school, I not only learned a lesson from the speaker’s message, but I learned about the true character of my peers with whom I am privileged to study. On a warm, sunny Monday afternoon, Dean Davis hosted a guest speaker for our first year pharmacy class who told of several of his patients, but one patient in particular caught the attention of our class as a whole. The guest pharmacist recounted the story of a woman who had beaten cancer not once, but twice. Her remarkable recovery from cancer was not enough when she was diagnosed with a bacterial infection, which was threatening to take her life. The costly antibiotics were more than she could afford, however, and once again she faced a condition with a likely fatal outcome.

This situation gave me the opportunity to witness an extraordinarily caring response from my peers as we commenced a fundraiser to contribute toward the payment of the patient’s antibiotic regimen. After seeing this generous and compassionate inclination of my peers to help someone none of us knew, I remembered the story of the Good Samaritan found in Luke. In the story, a traveler was attacked and lay helpless on the roadside. He was passed over by a priest and a Levite who were simply carrying out their daily duties serving others in their own settings. Yet, when the Samaritan came along and saw

the man left for dead and lying helpless on the roadside, he took pity on him, took him in, and cared for a stranger’s individual health.

None of the three men--the priest, Levite, nor the Samaritan--did anything wrong. They were all maintaining their day-to-day functions. Yet the Samaritan performed an exemplary act when he saw a stranger in need and did everything he could to help. I couldn’t be prouder to study alongside colleagues who, in the same way as the Samaritan, went beyond their ordinary duties and beyond their means to assist someone they did not even know. Our class efforts raised $749 in just a few days that would be delivered to the patient, assisting in her payments to treat her life-threatening condition. When I asked my peers why they wanted to give, I heard responses such as, “I would want someone to do it for me”, “I felt it was what Christ would have done,” and finally, “I wanted to give because it was a need that crossed my path.” The notion of looking out for the welfare, not only the patients we encounter, but also of every individual in the community, is a notion that hits close to the heart of the majority of health care professionals. A component of the Oath of a Pharmacist pledges, “I will consider the welfare of humanity and relief of suffering my primary concern.” It gratifies me to see that commitment taught by the actions of my fellow students at Lipscomb College of Pharmacy.

The College of Pharmacy hosted the first Professionalism Pinning Ceremony on May 11. The activities were sponsored and planned by the American Pharmacists Association-Academy of Student Pharmacists (APhA-ASP) chapter and the College of Pharmacy staff.

The end of the third year marks the end of didactic coursework. It is believed that the transition to full-time experiential education is a significant step in the professional development of the student pharmacist. During the final year in school, students translate the professionalism that has been acquired primarily in the classroom into various practice settings. Many students will visit the campus occasionally during their final year. It is imperative that they renew their professional commitment to professionalism.

Third year student pharmacists, faculty and staff gathered in the McMeen Music Center to celebrate this occasion. Dr. Greg Young, director of experiential education, began the program with a few words and a prayer for the class of 2012. He also introduced our key note speaker, Dr. David Gregory.

Dr. Gregory, director for education, research and clinical pharmacy services at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, spoke to the students about the importance of professionalism, not only while on advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPE’s), but also in practice after graduation. He told the students to treat every patient as if it were a family

member. If they do this they will gain the patient’s trust and respect which is essential to the pharmacists practice. These words are words that we hope the students will reflect on while they are on their APPE’s.

After Dr. Gregory spoke each student came forward as their name was called to receive their Lipscomb Pharmacy Professionalism lapel pin. They were pinned by Dr. Sarah Uroza and Dean Roger Davis. After the pinning Dr. Tom Campbell administered the Oath of a Pharmacist to the students.

Dean Davis closed the ceremony by reminiscing with the students about many of the experiences they have had the past three years as our First Class. He congratulated them on all of their many accomplishments and wished them well on their future endeavors.

The Professionalism Pinning Ceremony took place on the students’ last day of class so this gave the students’ time during lunch to take pictures with friends, chat with faculty and staff and reminisce about their own experiences in pharmacy school.

After the ceremony the students posed for one of their final group pictures on the steps of the A.M. Burton Health Sciences building and enjoyed a catered lunch with faculty and staff.

Professionalism Pinning Ceremony

As our third year students move from primarily didactic work into their final year of experiential education the Lipscomb University College of Pharmacy decided to formally mark this transition with a Professionalism Pinning Ceremony.

the annual college of pharmacy donor recognition lunch was held on Friday April 22 in the A.M. Burton Health Sciences building. It was a time to recognize the support of generous donors and to say thank you to those who are helping advance the mission of the college. Individual and corporate donors, along with faculty and staff of the college, were joined by student pharmacists to celebrate the suc-cess of the past year.

In addition to thanking external donors, Dean Roger Davis announced that once again the faculty and staff of the College of Pharmacy had 100% participation in dona-tions towards the growth of a scholarship fund. As a result of the generous support provided by the faculty and staff, the scholarship is fully endowed at $25,000. Dean Davis commented “We are very appreciative and thankful for the sacrificial gifts that so many are making to help our student pharmacists in their educational journey. The investment in people’s lives and opportunities being created as a result of a donor’s generous spirit are what we are celebrating today.”

Missions & Community Service Program

First Day We Pray

At Lipscomb, a pharmacist’s script reads a little differently. Here, pharmacy is a service profession and our student pharmacists have opportunities for involvement in local and international service learning in order to develop leadership skills for a life of Christian service.

Student pharmacists, with faculty leading the way, will serve others here in Nashville and around the world in places like Guatemala, Honduras, and Africa.

We urge you invest in a different pharmacy graduate, one who is eager to learn their profession and use their knowledge to impact the nation and the world.

To support and participate in the College’s Missions and Community Service Program contact the College of Pharmacy at [email protected] or 615-966-7160.

Please join the Lipscomb University College of Pharmacy as we gather for breakfast, fellowship and prayer to begin the 2011-2012 academic year. What better way to start the year than inviting pharmacists from the community to

pray with our students, faculty and staff. We hope to see you on the first day!
