It has been 15 years since our Inaugural Class of 2009 graduated from Pacific University School of Pharmacy!  Since we just hooded the latest Class of 2024 and sent them on their way into the world of pharmacy, we thought it would be great to touch bases with one of our alumni that graduated in 2009. 
It will be a long summer without coffee on our Forest Grove campus, but we have a new exciting coffee shop to be run by Bon Appétit opening in August 2024.
On April 1, 2024 Pacific University School of Pharmacy hired a new Assistant Professor, Dr. Katie Steele, PharmD, BCACP.  Dr. Steele received her PharmD in 2015 and brings with her a strong focus in ambulatory care, cultural competency, underserved populations, patient education, mentorship and post-graduate education.  We caught up with her and asked her some key questions to learn more about her and her background, why she wanted to join Pacific University and some interesting personal fun facts!
