In that role, the acts, methods and examples of ‘Excellence With Caring’ were consistently at the forefront. I took this philosophy with me in each of my stations as dean. I am excited to return to FAMU to work with university leadership, learners, staff, faculty, residents and alumni of pharmacy and public health. This college is a key door opener to essential professions.”
