Support the Siegel Scholarship If you’re a College of Pharmacy alumnus, chances are you’ve heard of Dr. Siegel. A two-time graduate of the College, Dr. Siegel served as a faculty member for nearly 35 years. During his tenure, he was voted Teacher of the Year 15 times and was the recipient of nine Golden Apple Awards in recognition of excellence in instruction. Since then, Dr. Siegel has come to represent the highest caliber of pharmacy education and is one of the most beloved professors in the College’s history. Recognized as a national expert on bringing a concept to final dosage form, Dr. Siegel aided numerous industries as a product development consultant and still actively consults at 80 years of age. For these and countless other accomplishments, the College honored Dr. Siegel with its Legacy Award in 2009. Today, the College hopes to ensure Dr. Siegel’s lasting legacy with a $25,000 endowed scholarship in his name.
But we need your help. “Dr. Siegel is a most beloved professor of more than 4,000 students in his career at the UIC College of Pharmacy. It is with sincere gratitude that we honor our mentor, colleague, and, most of all, close friend of more than 40 years. We hope to demonstrate this appreciation through our support of a scholarship in his name to carry on his legacy for future students at the UIC College of Pharmacy.” —Bruce, bs ’74, and Linda Grider, bs ’75 “Dr. Siegel has been my advisor, my boss, my formulations consultant, my mentor, and my close friend for more than 35 years. Most of my accomplishments in pharmacy can be directly linked back to the education and guidance that Fred provided. It is an honor to contribute to this scholarship and forever link Fred’s name to a program that will continue to support our future pharmacists.” —Ed and Paula Meyer, bs ’74 Please consider a $250 gift to the Frederick P. Siegel Scholarship. Thanks to your generosity, we have already raised $21,000 for this award. Your gift, combined with those of other alumni, will honor a master educator who impacted the lives of more than three decades of COP graduates.
