WHITE COAT CEREMONY By Denise Gorenski

On Tuesday, September 2, 2008 the College welcomed the Class of 2012 into the professional curriculum through the Annual White Coat Cere-mony. This year, 105 students were led into Edward’s auditorium by members of the Class of 2009. Par-ents, friends, faculty and staff joined in the celebration. Interim Dean Ronald Jordan welcomed the stu-dents into the College Family. Also on hand offering words of encour-agement were Dr. Donald DeHayes, Provost and Vice President for Aca-demic Affairs, and Kathleen Kettle, Chairwoman of the Rhode Island Board of Pharmacy.

During the ceremony, each stu-dent received a white coat pro-vided through the generosity of CVS/Caremark. The coats were presented by members of the Class of 2011. After receiving their coats, Dean Jordan challenged the students to become members of teams investigating the qualities that make a successful, compas-sionate pharmacist. These teams, being mentored by faculty, will make formal presentations in the spring. Prior to the ceremony, the stu-dents attended a Professionalism Workshop presented by Dr. Michele Danish, Clinical Man-ager from St. Joseph’s Hospital. At the conclusion of the program, participants enjoyed light refresh-ments.

Message from the Dean As Dean of the College, I tradition-ally have the privilege of sending a message to our Alumni with each edi-tion of the newsletter. In this issue I have donated my space to one of our alumni who wishes to send a heartfelt message to all who have graduated from his alma mater. Scott Campbell ‘77 and his wife Regina have been committed to the college and univer-sity for many years. They have given generously of their time and financial resources since graduation. Scott was also a champion of the initiative to build a new College of Pharmacy, as many of our alumni were. So I ask that each of you take a mo-ment to read the words written by Scott and to reflect upon his mes-sage:

WE NEED YOU! As the College of Pharmacy at URI continues to expand and build a new, state-of-the-art building, the financial help of pharmacy alumni is needed more than ever. I hope you’ll take a moment and consider these points. State support at URI has de-creased dramatically. In 1975, the state paid 45 percent of the Univer-sity’s budget, in 1985 it was 39 per-cent, in 1995 it was 28 percent, and now in 2008, it’s down to 14 percent of the total school budget. The state’s share of $65 million for the new build-ing is not enough to complete the structure. We alumni must raise an additional $10 to $15 million for suc-cessful completion, making the pro-ject, in effect, a partnership between the state and URI’s successful alumni. If you received a scholarship or financial aid while you were in school, this is an excellent opportunity to pay that benefit forward. Now is your chance to not only return the favor to those individuals and organizations who helped you, but also to invest as well in the future of our profession. A $1000 scholarship given annually in the 1970’s for five years was worth $5,000. If that money had been in-vested at 3% return, it would be worth

around $12,500 today. Can you pledge to give back that $12,500 over the next five years? (That would only be $200 a month.) Will you make that pledge today? We set an example for the rest of the university. URI’s pharmacy stu-dents are some of the brightest and most successful of its graduates. As such, much is expected from us. In supporting and standing behind the vital project of a new pharmacy build-ing, we show our fellow graduates that the future is really in our hands, and we’re willing to make a commit-ment to it. If you want to create your own legacy at URI, please consider adding to our existing scholarships or creating one of your own. Most of us in the profession were helped by professors and mentors along the way, and many of us give back by training students and interns. The gift of a monetary donation to the College of Pharmacy will help great numbers of students for generations to come. How much to give? For those who graduated in the 70’s, con-sider pledging $100 a month for 5 years. For those in the 80’s, $75 a month; the 90’s, $50 a month; and for those who graduated after 2000, please just get started. A small amount every month is greatly appre-ciated. We’ll leave that up to you. Finally, it’s OUR College of Phar-macy. Everything associated with URI’s College of Pharmacy is also associated with us. A rising tide lifts all boats: committing to make this College a premier school continues to make all of our degrees premier. Many of us are very proud of not only the education we received, but also how that education has led us to a financially rewarding and profession-ally challenging career. I know I re-ceived an excellent education at URI, which has certainly helped support a good and satisfying life. I’m willing to give back and have made a five-year commitment to help the College of Pharmacy construct the building it needs and deserves.

We hope we can count on you to join us in this worthy effort. Now is the time for those of us who value the education we received at URI to say “thank you” and mean it. Sincerely, Scott Campbell ‘77 Class Challenge Co-Chair I would like to express my apprecia-tion to Scott for his message of sup-port. The College is racing against time to raise private funds to beat building cost inflation which will erode our purchasing power very quickly. The College needs your support now if we are to achieve our goal. Please consider donating when you are called for this important cause. Sincerely Ronald Jordan ‘76 Interim Dean

Building Site The past few months have been busy on the future site of our new building. This picture shows the site of the new pharmacy building as seen looking east from the fourth floor of the new Center for Biotechnology and Life Sciences. In the foreground we see the DeWolf Anatomy Lab and BISC ,both of which are scheduled for demolition once their functions have been relo-cated into the Biotech building. The middle of the picture shows the area that is currently being worked on; this area is within the footprint of our new building, and work is being done to prepare the utility infrastructure. The brick buildings in the middle of the pic-ture and on the middle right are re-spectively Tyler Hall and Woodward Hall. Both of these buildings will be connected into the new pharmacy building.

Capital Campaign Notes:

War is being waged in the College of Pharmacy’s Office of Student Affairs. September is always an exciting time at the College of Pharmacy as the activities for the new academic year get underway. This year’s return of

students is even more exciting as stu-dents work to win Penny Wars and bragging rights. Only pennies count towards the total collected; all other monies are a deduction from the total. Secretly, coins and dollars are added by faculty, staff and students as they sabotage other classes in their quest to be the winning class. Dean Jordan will donate a prize to the winning class. However, the College of Pharmacy is the ultimate winner, as all monies raised are donated to the new building.

October is Pharmacy Month

Pharmacy Month is a reminder to patients and other members of the health care team of the value of our education and the importance of phar-macists participating on each patient’ healthcare team. As alumni of URI College of Pharmacy we each received an education that prepared us to serve in this highly respected profession. As graduates of URI College of Phar-macy’s program, we continue to bene-fit from the faculty and curriculum’s national reputation of excellence as well as the success of the program’s alumni. Within the next few weeks, a URI student will be calling you for a donation for our new building. During this month designated to us, would you consider giving back to the College of Pharmacy to ensure the same quality

education for future generations of stu-dents? Your commitment will also help sustain the value of your diploma which depends on the reputation and quality of our College and graduates. A new building offering the latest tech-nology, teaching resources and space will enable the College to meet the needs of tomorrow’s pharmacy stu-dents and to maintain its place among the leading Colleges of Pharmacy. Our faculty has met the call of support with 100% participation in this cam-paign. We need each of you to make a similar commitment to ensure this initiative is an overwhelming success.

Each of your contributions

brings us closer to reaching our goal

SEMINAR ON THE LINKS By MJ Kanaczet

The sun shone brightly over Nar-ragansett Bay as College of Phar-macy alumni and friends hit the links for the 15th Annual Louis A. Luzzi Seminar on the Links at the gor-geous Quidnessett Country Club on September 8, 2008. Dr. Roberta King, Associate Pro-fessor in the Department of Biomedi-cal and Pharmaceutical Sciences, kicked off the day with a Continuing Education program entitled “What the FDA is saying about ADME and Drug Interactions.” Then, 120 golfers teed off! Tournament winners this year were once again led by John Grosso-manides (’84) and included Mike Pirri, Matt Mears and Rick Angeli. Longest drive prizes went to Angella Reardon and Steve Golia. The Mario Family Foundation along with corporate sponsors, CVS/Caremark, Rite Aid, Walgreens and Mylan, and 25 tee sign donors gener-ously made this day possible. The proceeds from the tournament will enrich opportunities for College of Pharmacy students through the Share of Tomorrow Fund. Current pharmacy students, Chris Ivanoski and Hillary Williams, spoke to the gathering of golfers about how they have personally benefited from the fund which has al-lowed them to participate in national pharmacy conferences.

URI College of Pharmacy: A Rewarding Community

Interview with Lynn Pezzullo

By: Kristen Von Hone In December of 1990, Lynn Pezz-ullo, RPh, a Johnston, Rhode Island native, graduated with a bachelor’s degree from the University of Rhode Island’s College of Pharmacy. “Growing up, I always liked the medi-cal field. I liked the sciences,” said Pezzullo. “I had family and friends who were pharmacists, it just seemed like something I’d be interested in.” Over the course of her education, Pezzullo would change her mind along the way. From pharmacy, Pezzullo entered majors ranging from elemen-tary education to medical technology. In the end “nothing interested me more than pharmacy, so I decided to go back to it,” said Pezzullo. As a student, Pezzullo worked at St. Joseph’s Hospital. “I learned a lot, I enjoyed the work,” said Pezzullo. “I just didn’t see myself in that environ-ment. I wanted more direct interaction with patients.” After graduation, Pezzullo took a position at CVS/pharmacy where she stayed for 14 years. Her initial experi-ence provided her with direct cus-tomer interaction in the pharmacy. Her positions in the corporate office gave her a more global perspective of the

business. “It provided an opportunity to continue my development and to pur-sue my professional goals,” Pezzullo said. Today, Pezzullo is the Manager of Pharmacy Services at Quality Partners of Rhode Island, a non-profit organiza-tion. “I have had an opportunity to gain a broader perspective across the over-all healthcare system, and the impact that pharmacy can have in all set-tings,” Pezzullo said. While at Quality Partners, Pezzullo has worked on a number of healthcare projects: Advancing Excellence in America’s Nursing Homes Campaign; QuitWorks-RI, a tobacco cessation program; improving medication use among beneficiaries with diabetes, and the Rhode Island Chronic Care Sus-tainability Initiative, which aligns quality improvement goals and financial in-centives to improve the delivery of pri-mary care services to patients with chronic illness. “These projects give me the oppor-tunity to work with partners in all set-tings, and to identify ways that phar-macy can be integrated to positively impact patient care,” said Pezzullo. As her career progresses, Pezzullo would like to see “a point where phar-macists are always recognized as an integral part of the healthcare team, and consulted as part of the patient’s care plan.” When Lynn Pezzullo looks back at where she started, the URI College of Pharmacy, community is the first thing that comes to mind. “The URI COP is such an incredible resource to the pharmacy community and the patient community,” Pezzullo said. “Now that I’m this far into my career, I have an even greater appreciation for what the college offers.”

Faculty Recognition Professor Paul Larrat and Assis-tant Professor Rita Marcoux were recently praised for their work with the RI Department of Correc-tions. Over five years ago, the URI College of Pharmacy and the De-partment of Corrections began a partnership to provide management and clinical oversight for the phar-macy component of the DOC healthcare program. Dr. Larrat and Ms. Marcoux have worked creatively with the DOC medical service staff to develop timely and effective strategies for improving the health outcomes of their patients and man-aging the utilization and cost of the pharmacy services provided by the DOC. Ashbel T. Wall II, DOC direc-tor, states that, "Rita Marcoux and Paul Larrat have brought to our part-nership a high level of expertise in pharmacy benefit manage-ment. They are the consummate public servants, demonstrating ex-ceptional professionalism, persever-ance and a team-oriented collabora-tive philosophy." The collaboration between the two organizations has allowed the State of Rhode Island to realize 8 million dollars in sav-ings. URI Pharmacy students also benefit from an experiential course, which allows approximately 12 stu-dents per year to hone their clinical and management skills at the DOC. Students are involved in de-veloping clinical protocols for medi-cal treatment of DOC patients, as-sessing utilization and cost trends of medication in the facilities and as-sisting prescribers in proper medica-tion selection. Congratulations, Rita and Paul, on a job well done!

URI’s chapter won in the categories of pro-fessionalism, loyalty, publications, and scholarship. Students attended business meet-ings, CE offerings, and other pro-grams. The guest speaker, David Stollman, spoke about the core val-ues of the Greek system and how they apply to the members as a pro-fessional fraternity. The convention afforded the students an educational forum as well as an opportunity to explore Savannah!
