Winter 2018 Newsletter

John Reynolds

It’s good to be home! After three years of serving the university and college in other administrative roles, I returned to the School of Pharmacy last summer. Upon returning, I could readily see that our school continues to distinguish itself through its highly successful and committed students, faculty, staff, and alumni. I am grateful to Dave Zgarrick for his service as acting dean over the past three years, and excited by the leadership of Susan Parish, the new dean of Bouvé College of Health Sciences.

As you will see in this newsletter, we continue to build on our base of success through the efforts of remarkable people and strong programs. We recently launched a new strategic planning initiative and are eager to chart our future course in a way that aligns with many college and university goals and initiatives. Special emphasis will remain on health, research and innovation. As always, we invite feedback and suggestions from all members of our professional and scientific community to inform and shape our plan. You are always welcome!

Please plan to visit your academic home via a stop to campus or attendance at a Northeastern University Continuing Education program event.  Or stay up to date on related news via our website and social media.

The door is always open!
