July 2014

Summer is here and so is the start of another new fiscal year. As I'm sure you've heard, we welcomed a brand new president to Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences.

On July 1, Dr. Gregory Dewey officially began his tenure as the ninth president of ACPHS. The Office of Institutional Advancement and the Office of the President will be hosting a number of local and regional events throughout the year to introduce Dr. Dewey to alumni and friends of the College. In the meantime, please join us in welcoming Dr. Dewey and his wife, Cindy, to the community!

Check out our line-up of events and promotions in this issue of the Alumni Alert. We hope to see you soon!
