Please join us in congratulating Professor Bob Soltis, who will be returning to his alma mater to become the next dean of the Butler College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences, beginning June 27 (http://news.butler.edu/blog/2016/05/soltis/).

For the past 24 years, Bob has been a leader at Drake on a number of endeavors, most recently serving as the 2015-2016 Faculty Senate president. He has been instrumental in many initiatives for the CPHS, including curricular revisions, accreditation self studies, implementation of the health sciences program, and assistance with the remodeling that created the Ellis Pharmacogenomics and Wellness labs. While we will miss Bob’s leadership at Drake, we are proud of his selection as dean and excited for him to take on this role.

Please join us on June 7 at 3:30 p.m. in the Cline Atrium as we roast and toast him before he heads to Butler.

—Renae Chesnut, Dean, College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences
