TICE RECEIVES NATIONAL AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE, LEADERSHIP POTENTIAL

Brad Tice, associate professor of pharmacy practice at Drake University and director of the Drake/Albertsons Drug Stores Community Care Laboratory, has been awarded the 2005 Leadership and Education Institute/ GlaxoSmithKline Albert B. Prescott Leadership Award.

The national award, administered by the Pharmacy Leadership and Education Institute, was established in 1987 to recognize excellence and leadership potential among young leaders in pharmacy.

“This is a wonderful and well-deserved honor for Brad Tice and for Drake,” said Raylene Rospond, dean of the Drake University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences.
Tice will receive the award on April 3 at the 2005 American Pharmacists Association Annual Meeting in Orlando, Fla. He will give an address at the presentation that will later be published in the Journal of the American Pharmacists Association.

In addition to being selected for this national award, Tice has been elected to the office of member-at-large of the Academy of Pharmacy Practice and Management for the American Pharmacists Association. He will be inducted into office at the April meeting and will serve a two-year term.

Tice, who holds a B.S. and Pharm.D. from the University of Kansas, joined the Drake faculty in 1998. In addition to teaching, he is involved in a number of professional associations, including American Pharmacists Association, the Iowa Pharmacy Association Board of Trustees and the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy. He also serves as co-adviser of the Drake chapter of the Academy of Students of Pharmacy.
