Support the Dean Henri R. Manasse, Jr., Scholarship
If you’re a College of Pharmacy alumnus or ASHP member, chances are, you’ve heard of Henri R. Manasse, Jr., PhD, ScD. As a strong visionary and inspirational leader, former dean Manasse helped to move the college and profession forward having set an audacious goal of Doctor of Pharmacy for every graduate of the UIC College of Pharmacy. This was an early first step for a man who would go on to spend his career working to serve, represent, and rightfully elevate pharmacists who practice in hospitals and health systems across the country. Educated as a pharmacist at the University of Illinois in 1968, Dr. Manasse went on to earn a master of arts in educational psychology from Loyola University Chicago and a PhD in pharmacy administration from the University of Minnesota. Through his education, training, and life experiences, Dr. Manasse developed a unique set of skills, perspective, and philosophy regarding his chosen professional. He would go on to serve a number of leadership positions, including dean and professor of pharmacy administration at the college, vice chancellor for health sciences at the University of Illinois Medical Center, vice president for health sciences at the University of Iowa, and chairman of the board of the University of Iowa Health System before serving as the executive vice president and chief executive officer of the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists. Throughout his long and accomplished career, he was always focusing on opening new doors and redefining care models for pharmacists to use their extensive clinical knowledge to contribute at the forefront of patient care. Given his extensive and impactful career, the college hopes to ensure Dr. Manasse’s legacy of leadership with the creation of a $25,000 endowed scholarship in his name.
