On Friday, January 30th, Oregon State University President, Edward J. Ray, gave the annual State of the University Address at the Oregon Convention Center. Many were present to hear his powerful words about this school’s steps toward Excellence, Innovation, and Leadership. Alumni, students and faculty alike came to represent the College of Pharmacy. We would like to extend our thanks to those who joined us:
Kristi Butler (’98), Nancy Gadd (’86), Kirstin Gafner (’16), Cory Huot (’97), Dave Lewis (’81), Steve Logan (’80), Michelle Murray (’86), Yen Pham, Penny Reher (’82), Eugenia Su (’16), and Vince Whiting.
President Ray said, “We don’t do this work alone…but with partner in private industry, such as Intel, Nike, IBM and Boeing; non-profit organizations; and education colleagues, such as OHSU and Portland State University in the Collaborative Life Sciences Building in Portland South Waterfront, where our Pharmacy students and faculty contribute to learning and research.”
He closed by stating, “From our classroom and research facilities, to our athletic playing fields and courts, to our leadership in tackling the planet’s most pressing problems, I promise you that we will always bring our “A” game. We are not done. The best is yet to come.”
