School of Pharmacy faculty and students assisted the Glen-Ed Pantry with food distribution and their monthly mobile market in Edwardsville, which takes place on the third Wednesday of every month.

"These types of events are tremendous learning opportunities for our students to provide hands-on care to the underserved in our community,” said Chris Lynch, PharmD, professor and director of clinical programs in the SOP.

The SOP faculty and students also provided free blood pressure checks, distributed free sample size bottles of ibuprofen and provided one-on-one counseling sessions.

SIUE honored 10 remarkable graduates at the 2022 SIUE Alumni Hall of Fame ceremony, “A Night Among the Stars,” held this fall, including Diana Isaacs, PharmD '09, a member of the School of Pharmacy’s first graduating class.

“These individuals personify SIUE’s values,” said SIUE Chancellor James T. Minor, PhD. “Among them, you will find journalists, educators, business leaders, elected officials, engineers and health care professionals. What they share is a dedication to service and a deep appreciation for the education they received at SIUE. Each of them has, in their own way, blazed a path for SIUE students to succeed today.”

Each honoree had the opportunity to take the stage and share their remarks about their experience at SIUE and receiving this recognition.

“I remember the first day of school that everybody knew our names, which was quite unique,” said Isaacs. “The faculty believed in me and gave me opportunities beyond knowledge itself. I have so much gratitude to SIUE. I encourage current students and alumni to take this amazing foundation that we have and use it to go and make a difference.”
