2014 PRECEPTORS OF THE YEAR

Dear Preceptors,

I wanted to let you know that my

last day at UT will be November

30th. I am taking the next big step

forward to RETIREMENT and am

looking forward to it with great

anticipation.

Thank you all for being such a joy

to work with over the past 20

years. It has been an amazing

experience and I have loved

working with each one of you so

much.

I have felt such a personal bond

between us and it will be a big

adjustment to lose that contact with

you. I will truly miss you.

Thank you for the many

outstanding rotation opportunities

that you have so willingly provided

to our students. Thank you for your

involvement in various University

committees all with the goal of

enhancing our pharmacy program

at UT.

Wishing you the very best!

Kathy Zember

2014 IPPE Preceptor of the Year

Najwa Kassem, R.Ph. Pharmacy Owner/Manager Westgate

Family Pharmacy

Najwa loves her job and

loves her customers. She has

been precepting our

University of Toledo IPPE

and APPE students since

2001. Originally from

Lebanon, Najwa graduated

with her pharmacy degree

and entered into a world that

was dominated by only men. She later opened her own pharmacy in

Lebanon and was very successful.

In 1995 she moved to Toledo Ohio and began working as a manager

with the Rite Aid Corporation. Najwa’s passion was to be an

independent pharmacist and make a difference. In October 2012, she

opened Westgate Family Pharmacy on Central Avenue in Toledo. Here

she has the time and freedom to connect with her customers on a one-on-

one basis. Her pharmacy offers free delivery, immunizations, Blister

Packaging and MTM.

career as a pharmacy dean as well as his ongoing

service to the pharmacy and African American

communities, Dr. Early lives his commitment to

diversity and student success. His story, which

carried him from humble beginnings in a small

Georgia town to national leadership positions in

pharmacy organizations, is indeed worthy of

recognition.

“I am honored to receive this recognition,” Dr.

Early said. Most important to my personal legacy

are student-centeredness, global outreach and

diversity, all of which are cornerstones of our

college’s mission and goals.”

Dr. Early will be recognized alongside three other

honorees at a gala celebration on October 3-4,

2014.

Author and entrepreneur Steve

Saint once said, “Your story is

the greatest legacy that you

will leave to your friends. It's

the longest-lasting legacy you

will leave to your heirs.”

In this spirit, Dean Early adds

his story to that of the African

American Legacy Project, a local nonprofit that is

dedicated to “documenting and preserving the

history of Northwest Ohio’s African American

communities and their impact and influence upon

Toledo and the greater world community”.

This fall, the AALP will honor Dr. Early with its

Legend Award, recognizing his achievements in

leadership, service and academia as part of

Toledo’s history. Nominated for his decades-long
