• Golnoush Golshan, MA, Doctor of Pharmacy Candidate, Class of 2018 on WOMEN'S MONTH: Women’s month is a time to honor the contributions of extraordinary women in our lives and throughout history. It was through the sacrifices and courageousness of our mothers and the generations before them that we have been able to break down barriers and achieve the impossible. This month is a reminder that as females we must continue moving forward with the impact we have made in our respective fields and to help empower other women along the path to success.
• Lucinda Chan, PharmD, Director of Experiential Education, on WOMEN'S MONTH: As a young pharmacist starting her career, I was extremely fortunate to have strong female pharmacy mentors. I listened to their stories of being the first female pharmacy student in their class and dealing with the choice of career or family. The women before me have paved a road of incredible strength and courage. They have encouraged me to work fearlessly and to reach for goals in areas that have not been developed. I was given the courage to push forward and persist when the odds were difficult. When I was feeling tired and weak, reaching out to my mentors for words of encouragement gave me the momentum to create a legacy for women pharmacist that will follow me. I am excited to be a mentor now and encourage the new generation of women that will continue this road of accomplishments.
• BEST WISHES: David Madden, PhD, Associate Professor of Biological and Pharmaceutical Sciences, will be leaving the College of Pharmacy to join BioMarin Pharmaceuticals as a project manager within their Global Project Management group. During his nine years at Touro University California, Dr. Madden has been a stellar faculty member, contributing to all areas of academia with passion and dedication. Dr. Madden’s collegiality, creativity and devotion to students and faculty will be greatly missed, and we wish him the best in this next and exciting phase of his career.
