While attending pharmacy school, Jameswas a student representative on the board ofthe Idaho State Pharmacy Association andpresident of the ISU Pharmacy StudentSenate.

James and Amber have three children.James named Dr. Paul Cady, associate

dean, as the most influential professor in hiscollege career.

“I do not believe that anyone exemplifiesthe concept of integrity more than JamesWilliams,” Dr. Cady said. “He is a credit tothe College and the profession.”

James Williams, who has accepted aposition in the pharmacy department

of Eastern Idaho Regional MedicalCenter in Idaho Falls, was honoredas the Class of 2004 College ofPharmacy Outstanding Student.

Following an LDS mission inCosta Rica, James attended RicksCollege, now Brigham Young Uni-versity-Idaho, and earned an associ-ate degree in biology. He also metand married the former Amber

Empey.He and Amber transferred to ISU, where

James concurrently pursued degrees in bio-

I know these students willhave an impact on our profes-sion.

dean’s message

Summer and graduation meantransitions at College of Pharmacy

Dear Friends,I am writing this after just

returning from Memorial Dayweekend at the Old Faithful Innin Yellowstone National Park.Being a typical spring weekendin the Rocky Mountains, itsnowed sufficiently that theroads in the Park were closed fora good part of Saturday. Thepoor weather kept us inside theInn for most of the day enjoyingjust sitting, reading and taking inthe sights of the old structurecelebrating its centennial anni-versary.

The Inn will be undergoingmajor renovations through 2007.While walking to dinner onFriday night, we had to stop toallow a couple of buffalo to crossour path. One calmly walkedacross while the other came outof the woods running, whirlingand kicking up its hind legs as ifhe were dancing in the snow. Itprovided an excellent contrast,the exuberance of youth of thebison and the bulwark againsttime shown by the Inn, bothundergoing their individualrenewal of spring.

I view the happeningsaround your College in some-what similar circumstances. Wejust graduated 58 Doctor ofPharmacy students and twograduate students, ready to takeon the world with the exuberanceof their youth in their new pro-

physically and academically.This summer, the second

classroom in Leonard Hall isbeing converted to accommodatedistance learning. This willsupport students spending theirthird and fourth years of theprogram in Boise starting thisfall. The third year of the newcurriculum that began in the fallof 2002, will be taught for thefirst time this fall.

The faculty is relieved to nolonger be teaching two curricu-lums. We kicked-off our self-study for the next accreditationvisit at a faculty retreat helddirectly after graduation. Thisprocess involves a completereview of our mission, values,what we want for the future, andour strengths and weaknesses.

The self-study will includethe College’s entire faculty andstaff, and some students andpracticing pharmacists, severalof whom attended the retreat.Again, it is the process of re-newal.

I hope that you have a greatsummer!

Best wishes,

Joe

Joseph F. Steiner, Pharm.D.Dean and Professor

The fact that I have just had more than sevendays off as vacation time, tells the story of a slight lullin action in Boise for at least some of us. While I wasoff vacationing and achieving my life goal of mixingbusiness with pleasure, the rest of the Boise facultyhave been catching up on accreditation and manu-scripts (Karl Madaras-Kelly), speakingaround the country (Roger Hefflinger, RexLott), initiating a residency program (ChrisJohnson), attending Diabetes ManagementTraining Program (Cathy Oliphant), meet-ing with JCAHO (Sandy Jue) and gettingacquainted with a new baby arrival (GlendaCarr).

The Class of 2004 of residents(Heather Brandt, Lily Chao, Brian Dotter,Kim Hall, Erin Narus, Ernie Perkins) isgraduating, and some members are facingthe realities of a true 7 on - 7 off pharmacyposition. While May means Boise graduation cer-emony at Hillcrest Country Club, orientation for newP-4 clerkship students, notarizing and signing writtenstatements of moral character for graduates for Boardexams; it also means a three-week period of no clerk-ship students as we finalize the Class of 2004 andprepare for the Class of 2005.

This year we will also prepare for 20 students of

the Class of 2006 to spend the next two years inBoise. At this point, the student transition fromPocatello to Boise brings more questions than an-swers, but for you it means students may be inquiringabout pharmacy jobs earlier and will be available toshare their expertise in the Boise Valley regarding

diabetes, immunizations and poisonprevention. It also means mentoringopportunities will be prevalent as AaronLong and Jennifer Seeley work to imple-ment a mentoring program.

One of my goals this year is to beable to visit as many Boise area pharma-cies as possible to express appreciationand support of the ISU College of Phar-macy. I enjoyed seeing many of you at Tri-State in Coeur d’Alene and will crosspaths with some of you at ASHP in LasVegas. Fortunately, or unfortunately, what

happens in Vegas stays there so our visit will gounreported.

Happy Summer!

scholarship & alumni

Thanks to private support...

Scholarship dollars up from 2003-2004Although Idaho State University is a state-as-

sisted university, only a portion of the College’sbudget comes from state money. The College countson private support from individuals, corporations andfoundations to allow the College to provide its stu-dents with up-to-date classrooms, laboratories, com-puter technology and scholarships.

This year, due to private support, the College wasable to award more than 60 scholarships totaling$141,880 to promising students. This is an increase ofmore than $17,800 in scholarships issued the prioryear, according to Tressa Rockwood, College directorof development. The individual scholarships rangedfrom $130 to $5,550 to be used throughout the 2004-2005 academic year.

Many of the scholarships awarded were madepossible through gifted scholarship endowments,which are simple to create and, by design, will con-tinue to pay scholarships in perpetuity, Rockwoodsaid. Other scholarships come from a donor’s singlegift of cash.

What does a gift to the university mean? Todonors, it is often an opportunity to “fulfill a dream.”

Those dreams include remembering a loved oneby establishing a memorial scholarship, honoring aspecial student or professor, or simply leaving apersonal legacy at the donor’s alma mater.

“These types of gifts become investments in thefuture of the University and of the profession ofpharmacy,” Rockwood said.

The donor designs the criteria for the giftedscholarship. Scholarships may be designed to awardstudents who have demonstrated leadership, a specificlevel of academic achievement, or to those whoparticipate in extracurricular activities. Some also arerenewable annually to qualified candidates.

While some donors design their scholarship withspecific and restricted criteria, there is always a needfor less restrictive scholarships that simply provide thehighest priority to students with financial need andscholastic merit.

“All grade levels are important, as there are manyneedy and academically meritorious students whootherwise would not be able to obtain a universityeducation,” Rockwood said. “To our alumni andfriends who made these gifts possible, we extend ourthanks and our praise for your professional and per-sonal successes.

“To current and prospective students, we trustthese gifts support a need and make possible the manyopportunities available to you at ISU and in the pro-fession of pharmacy. To all, we thank you for yourcommitment to the education of the next generation ofpharmacists.”

Faculty Spotlight:Dr. Richard Rhodes

Dr. Richard S. Rhodes is an associate professor with the Department of Pharmacy Practice and Adminis-trative Sciences.

Rhodes received his Pharm.D. in 1983 from Mercer University Southern School of Pharmacy in Atlanta,Georgia. He subsequently completed a geriatric research fellowship at the University of Colorado and VAMCin Denver.

He joined the ISU College of Pharmacy faculty in July of 1987.Since then, Rhodes has been promoted to associate professor, served as the

early practice experience coordinator for over 300 students, clinical pharmacist atthe VA nursing home and faculty advisor for prepharmacy students.

For the past 12 years, he also has served as the Director of Pharmacy Ser-vices with the Idaho State Veteran’s Home in Pocatello.

Some of the courses Rhodes’ has instructed include Applied Pharmacologyfor Occupational Therapists, Seminar in Pharmacy Practice, Pathophysiology &Therapeutics I and Therapeutics for Physician Assistants.

Rhodes says teaching future pharmacists, and reminiscing with them ascolleagues, is one rewarding aspect of his career.

Several former students, including Tony Smith, Lorri Gebo-Shaver, SusanWilson, Brooke Pugmire and Dan Sandy, left a positive impression on the profes-sor, while others sometimes surprised him.

Former student Kenny Jarman began preparing for his P4 Seminar two days prior to the presentation.“It was one of the best seminars I’ve attended,” Rhodes said.2004 graduate, Paul Bandfield often challenged Rhodes.“He would argue with me even if we agreed on something,” he said.Rhodes says he chose teaching at the higher education level from some tongue in cheek advice.“My dad said I would make a great college professor because when the students were really having a hard

time in school they could look at me and say, ‘if he did it, anybody can,’” he said.Rhodes and his wife, Melanie, are the parents of five daughters and a son; Ginny, 24, Haley, 17, Alex, 11,

Stephanie, 10, Isabella, 5 and Lance, 21.

Dr. Devaud named outstanding researcherDr. Leslie Devaud, associate professor of pharmaceutical sciences, was honored at

the conclusion of the 2003-2004 academic year as one of five Idaho State UniversityOutstanding Researchers.

After earning her Ph.D. in neuropharmacology from Oregon State University in1988, Devaud held a series of research positions before joining ISU 10 years later forthe opportunity to teach as well as conduct research. She is doing groundbreaking workon gender differences in the neurophysiology of alcohol dependence.

She has published eight papers during her time at ISU, given nearly two dozenpresentations, and secured more than a million dollars in external research funds, withmillions more pending.

“Dr. Devaud is a very productive and collegial investigator,” said Dr. ChrisDaniels, pharmaceutical sciences chair. “She is making a very significant contributionto the growing base of neuroscience research on campus at ISU.”

Dr. Lawrence Updyke, ’84 alumnus,will speak at 2004 Wallace Lectureship

Dr. Lawrence Updyke, IdahoState University College of Phar-macy alumnus, ’84, will be theguest speaker for the 2004Wallace Lectureship at 7 p.m.Thursday, September 9 in the ISULeonard Hall.

His lecture issponsored by the ISUCollege of Pharmacy,Department of Pharma-ceutical Sciences.

Dr. Updyke is thedirector of toxicologyat Pfizer. In 1990, Dr.Updyke earned hisPh.D. in toxicologyfrom Purdue Univer-sity.

His visit to Idaho StateUniversity is funded by a gener-

ous contribution from the John O.and Esther L. Wallace EndowmentFund. This endowment becameavailable to the College followingJohn Wallace’s death in 1990.

Wallace originally moved toSoda Springs, Idaho, in1917 at the age of 20from his hometown inDumas, Mississippi,after hearing about thehealth benefits of thearea. He was initiallyemployed by therailroad, but soonfound a job at theRexall Drug Store,where he worked for ayear before entering

the military during WWI.Upon his return to Soda

Springs, he purchased EastmanDrug Store. Before long he dis-covered that it was expensive topay a pharmacist to dispenseprescriptions.

Determined to improvehimself and to decrease the oper-ating costs at his store, he attendeda three-year pharmacy school inMichigan. After completing theprogram, he returned as a pharma-cist to operate the store. Thirtyyears to the day after he purchasedthe Eastman Drug Store, he sold itand retired.

Throughout his life, Wallacetook a deep interest in Idaho StateUniversity. Additionally, heprovided much encouragementand support to the College ofPharmacy.
