Stephen Hoag, former Drake dean and interim provost, passed away on Oct. 16. Stephen was dean of the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences from 1993 to 2003 and interim provost from 2001 to 2002. He was an accomplished intellectual leader and a committed citizen of the University. During his time at Drake, his accomplishments were many, including the implementation and accreditation of the entry-level PharmD program and a gift that led to the naming of Cline Hall. A “Celebration of His Life” will be held on Saturday, Oct. 28 at The Kitchi Gammi Club in Duluth, Minn., at 12 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorials be made to the colleges of pharmacy of which he served, including Drake, or the Alzheimer’s Association. Please see his obituary and information for remembrances online. Stephen will be deeply missed by many family, friends, and colleagues.
