DRAKE PHARMACY PROFESSOR WINS NATIONAL AWARD

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.
