The OSU Alumni Association Fellows program recognizes a handful of the University’s exceptional alumni each year during Homecoming. The College of Pharmacy is pleased to announce Shelton Louie as the 2012 OSU Alumni Association Pharmacy Alumni Fellow.
Shelton Louie graduated from the OSU College of Pharmacy in 1978 and spent 30 years of his career working for the Fred Meyer Corporation. During this time, Shelton and a friend launched the creation of the corporation GSL Solutions after recognizing the changing landscape of pharmacy product storage and “will call” prescription retrievals. This innovative company designs and manufactures prescription management systems for intelligent storage and retrieval of “will call” prescriptions to retail pharmacies in the U.S. and Canada. The company’s products based on radio frequency identification technology (RFID) that streamlines pharmacy workflow, improves the accuracy of filling and dispensing prescriptions and reduces labor costs for large chain pharmacies and central fill operations. Louie is part of a family of Beavers, many of whom are pharmacists, and several of his children are currently in the PharmD program at OSU continuing the family tradition of excellence in pharmacy practice.
This year’s Alumni Fellows Awards Celebration takes place on Friday, October 19 at 7pm at the CH2M Hill Alumni Center. Tickets can be purchased online at www.osualum.com under Events.
