MESSAGE FROM THE DE AN
W
hat a year it has been! One of the most challenging tasks at the conclusion of an academic year is deciding which accomplishments to highlight in this Dean’s Report. While these pages cannot begin to capture the many successes of the Union University College of Pharmacy (UUCOP) faculty, staff, preceptors, students, and alumni, I hope they bring you joy as you see just a glimpse of what the Lord is doing through this College. This year brought several significant milestones. In March, UUCOP completed its second self-study visit for accreditation continuation with the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE). We received an outstanding report from the site team upon its exit, which was later affirmed by the ACPE Board of Directors who voted to extend our accreditation through June 2034. Our students continue
to demonstrate excellence, with the class of 2025 achieving a 96% first-time pass rate on the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX). The classes of 2025 and 2026 continued our tradition of exceptional residency placement outcomes, achieving a 100% placement rate for both postgraduate year one and postgraduate year two residencies. We likewise celebrate those graduates who chose to enter practice immediately after graduation, confidently and capably serving patients in community, long-term care, and nuclear pharmacy settings. This report also offers a glimpse into one of the unexpected blessings of saying yes to pharmacy education at Union — the meaningful relationships formed along the way. It is a blessing to watch these friendships take root and continue to flourish long after students leave our halls. These connections reflect the heart
of our mission and give us great hope for the future as our graduates serve communities across the country and around the world. Finally, this report celebrates a record number of donors who have invested in the College this year. Every gift makes a difference, directly impacting our students and advancing our mission. I am deeply humbled by this generosity and grateful for your partnership. Because of your support, we look to the future with confidence and excitement, trusting that the Lord will continue to use this College to prepare servant leaders for the profession of pharmacy. Warmest regards,
Kim M. Jones, PharmD, BCPS, FASHP, FTPA Dean and Professor of Pharmacy Practice

Precepting Excellence Experiential education accounts for more than 25% of the PharmD curriculum at UUCOP. Led by Dr. Ashley (Pugh) Snow, the Office of Experiential Education honors three preceptors at the annual Honors and Awards Ceremony in May. Student pharmacists are given the opportunity to nominate preceptors for this recognition. This year, the class of 2026 honored two outstanding pharmacists with APPE Preceptor and Faculty Preceptor of the Year awards. Dr. Eric Miller, class of 2020 alum, began precepting Union students in 2021 at Walmart Pharmacy. He was described by students as consistently challenging their growth — not only as a future pharmacist but also as a person. He pushed students to think critically, refine their clinical judgment, and develop confidence in their skills. He provided constructive feedback, helping build confidence and competence. He encouraged active participation as a member of the team, fostering independence and professional development. His mentorship style created a supportive yet motivating environment that truly prepares students for their future careers. The class of 2026 described Dr. Zac Halford as a faculty preceptor who exemplified everything that a pharmacist should be — committed to the profession and providing a successful learning opportunity for students, while always being compassionate and professional. He challenged them while making the learning process extremely interactive and enjoyable. He consistently went the extra mile to design APPE experiences tailored to student long-term goals and always modeled Christ-like qualities. The class of 2027 selected Dr. Aaron Zuller, clinical pharmacist at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital, to receive the IPPE Preceptor of the Year award. Dr. Zuller has served as a preceptor since 2023 for both Applied Therapeutics and an institutional IPPE. Students

He has a servant-minded approach to the care of his patients. The UUCOP is also thrilled to recognize the work of Dr. Man-To Lee, class of 2017, who was selected by the University of Houston College of Pharmacy as its 2026
Community Preceptor of the Year. Dr. Lee is the pharmacist-in-charge at Kelsey Seybold Clinic, a large multi-specialty practice with over 1000 physicians across more than 65 specialties in the greater Houston, Texas, area. Dr. Lee works directly with physicians while overseeing outpatient pharmacy operations, ensuring regulatory compliance and operational efficiency, and streamlining care for his patients. Congratulations to all!

Nourishing Student Success When Dr. Jennifer Byrd submitted a grant proposal to the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) Foundation in 2025, she could only hope to win the grant funds to positively impact UUCOP student pharmacists. To date, multiple students have received meal cards that provide access to healthy food from Union’s on-site cafeteria. Her hope was that by reducing unnecessary worry about how to pay for and have access to healthy meals, students could focus their energy on their academic work. That hope has been realized in year one of grant implementation. One student wrote, “Let me begin by expressing my deepest gratitude for the food stipend I received this semester. I want to share the profound impact this gift has had on my life, both as a student and as an individual.
“Last semester, navigating food insecurity created a level of constant, underlying anxiety that I didn’t fully realize I was carrying until it was lifted. The first time I sat down to calculate my needs and realized the stipend had ‘figured it out’ for me, I was brought to tears. As a student, having that mental burden removed was a substantial relief. It allowed me to stop balancing my study time against the stress of meal planning and instead dedicate that energy entirely to my coursework. “The impact on my health has been equally significant. As someone managing prediabetes, I previously had to choose less healthy, ‘filler’ foods because they were more affordable and offered greater volume. But because of this stipend, I was able to prioritize fresh produce and high-quality proteins.
Having access to fresh spinach, carrots, and cucumbers every day has kept me full and my blood sugar balanced. “The results for me have been tangible. Without the distraction of food worry, my concentration in class has sharpened. My rest and sleep have improved significantly, in part, due to a more stable diet. The stipend replaced a sense of uncertainty with a sense of security and dignity. This blessing did much more than just supply my physical needs; it provided the stability I needed to perform at my best. Thank you for a resource that has truly supported my health and my journey toward my professional goals.” If you would like to learn how to financially support this ongoing effort, please email Dr. Byrd at jsbyrd@uu.edu or scan the QR code.
Partnering for Health and Hope in Honduras A team of seven members from the Union University College of Pharmacy partnered with Ellendale Baptist Church of Bartlett, Tennessee, to serve in Comayagua, Honduras. The May 2026 trip marked UUCOP’s fourth mission trip with the El Ayudante ministry in Honduras. Sierra Dillbeck (P1), Mary Ellen Montgomery (P1), Abby Tate (P2), and John Bailey Meinz (P2), along with faculty members Dr. Ashley (Pugh) Snow, Dr. Jeff Snow, and Dr. Carson Cook served in various capacities throughout the week. The team performed an inventory count for the pharmacy of El Ayudante’s on-site clinic which was recently equipped with an electronic medical record. They also partnered with clinic staff to conduct both a mobile clinic and health screening event in two different mountain communities. UUCOP students led a devotion for middle and high school students focused on their identity in Christ. They also led a demonstration to show the amount of sugar found in com6

mon local sodas and educated students on the health concerns surrounding excess sugar intake. The team was also involved in helping lead a men’s and
women’s conference at local churches, installing water filters in a rural community, and helping lead Vacation Bible School and a sports camp.

Every Moment Matters
By Dr. Rachel Lucky, Class of 2026
Two years ago, the Lord opened the door for a pharmacy platform beyond anything I could have imagined. During my time as APhA-ASP National President and Student Pharmacist Trustee, I was afforded incredible opportunities to represent student pharmacists across the country while ultimately serving as an ambassador for Christ. Walking into rooms and task forces with a vast array of worldviews held by prominent individuals in
the profession caused me to learn how to respect others while standing firm on truth, no matter the cultural hot topic. During Jesus’ ministry on earth, Scripture consistently shows Him taking time to authentically love the people in front of Him. The Lord laid it on my heart to kickstart my term with one-on-one Zoom calls with our 50+ student leaders and then commit to pray for them by name throughout the year. The Lord used this time to build relationships, which eventually led to multiple opportunities for Gospel conversations. The past two years were a sweet reminder that people listen to those they trust, and relationships are the soil for trust to grow. My desire to subtly yet intentionally point others to Christ inspired my national presidential theme: “Every Moment Matters,” a challenge to students to find meaning in the everyday moments they have been entrusted to steward. Ultimately, this year has helped me see that professional involvement, and the greater pharmacy profession, is simply a vehicle for the greatest calling I have received: to know Christ and make Him known.
Advancing Employee Health Through PharmacistManaged Care College of Pharmacy ambulatory care faculty members recently began meeting with Union University employees as part of the new EmpowerU Health Initiative. Through this new program, UUCOP faculty work with Union University employees who have diabetes or pre-diabetes, or who are at risk for such conditions. The program consists of one-on-one meetings focused on lifestyle education and accountability in nutrition, physical activity, and weight loss. Convenient appointments held during the workday and onsite help empower Union employees to achieve better glucose control, weight loss, and build an overall healthier life. While UUCOP faculty have been offering such services at community practice sites since the founding of the College of Pharmacy, this new initiative represents an exciting shift to bring this expertise directly to our colleagues where they spend their workday.
Living Out the Fruits of the Spirit In fall 2025, the UUCOP launched a new discipleship initiative centered on the fruits of the Spirit. The College’s discipleship committee, led by Mrs. Retha Coetzee, selected a monthly Scripture focus and created a companion playlist of songs that reinforced each month’s theme. Throughout the year, faculty, staff, and students gathered for fellowship activities designed to encourage both reflection on and practice of these biblical virtues. Activities included planting seedlings donated by faculty gardeners to explore faithfulness, joining together in songs of worship to celebrate the joy of our risen Savior, sampling student-baked treats in
gratitude for God’s goodness, creating “Love Bags” filled with handmade cards and age-appropriate Bibles for children
entering foster care, completing puzzles as an exercise in patience, and even demonstrating gentleness through a friendly egg-toss challenge. These gatherings provided meaningful opportunities for our community to grow together in faith while connecting biblical truth to everyday life. We invite you to join us in reflecting on the fruits of the Spirit by listening to the goodness playlist created by Dr. Carson Cook. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22–23 (ESV) COLLEGE OF PHARMACY

PEOPLE-FOCUSED
More Than a Degree: The Union Experience The College of Pharmacy at Union University has a long history of graduating students who become compassionate pharmacists of distinctive character, committed to serving patients in an ever-changing healthcare environment. But the College of Pharmacy is more than a place where students earn a degree. It is a place where lifelong friendships begin, mentors become family, and lives are shaped in lasting ways. Meet Madeline Bausman, Anna Cursey, Viviana Rodriguez, and Hannah Shoffner, four P1 students who lived together in graduate housing this year. Madeline, from Iowa, shared, “Union being people-focused is honestly one of the main reasons I chose this school. I applied to schools closer to home and my family, but none of them had the same personalization throughout my interview process as Union did. I vividly remember expressing this concern during my interview and Dr. Stephens saying, ‘If you miss your family and need a dad hug, you can always come to me!’ That was when my decision was made.” Although Anna was from West Tennessee, she also entered pharmacy school facing many unknowns.
“This new season of life held a lot of uncertainty,” she said. “But living with and becoming close friends with Maddie, Hannah, and Vi really eased my fears. I honestly don’t know what my P1 year would have been like without them. We got close fast.” She describes those friendships outside the classroom as the most impactful part of her first year at Union. For Viviana, moving from Puerto Rico to Tennessee was both exciting and daunting. Yet from her very first visit to campus, she sensed that Union would be different. The recruitment and interview process felt personal and reassuring, giving her confidence that she would be known and cared for here. She recalls two moments that exemplified Union’s people-focused culture. “When my mom could not make it to the White Coat Ceremony, my entire cohort stood up for me when my name was called. And when I went through a difficult family situation, Dr. (Kim) Bowman gathered the faculty and staff to pray with me and my roommates.” Hannah also had the opportunity to attend a different college of pharmacy much closer to her home in Oklahoma

but felt disconnected during the interview process. At Union, her experience was entirely different. “When my flight was delayed for my interview, several professors and student ambassadors stayed an extra hour just so they could spend time with me. That intentionality and self-sacrificing kindness left a lasting impression on me.” Today, the four women share a bond that extends far beyond their coursework. “I feel like I’ve known these ladies for years,” Hannah said. “One thing I always tell friends back home is that they are the people you want by your side in a crisis. They are incredibly tenderhearted toward others, but also able to jump into action at a moment’s notice to help someone in need. You will never find better gift-givers, jokesters, or more open hearts.” The friendships being formed among today’s students mirror those experienced by Union alumni who remain connected long after graduation. That is certainly true for class of 2021 alumni Britney Beard, Alexandria (Alex) Hines, and Martina Goings. Though they came to Union from different hometowns and now practice in different states, they share a deep appreciation for the relationships that shaped their experience. Britney, now pharmacist-in-charge at Medica Pharmacy Bloomfield in Louisville, Kentucky, remains in contact with several professors. “The relationships we built went beyond academics,” she said. “They became mentors and lifelong supporters.” Alex echoes that sentiment. During the admissions process, she was struck by how valued she felt as an individual rather than simply another applicant. One of her favorite memories is sitting around the kitchen table in Dr. Blake and Lisa Watkins’ home, connecting as people rather than professor and student. “It was at his kitchen table where he changed from professor, to mentor, to family.”

She also credits Dr. Richard Addo with helping her gain the confidence needed to succeed on the pharmacy math portion of her board exam. During a P4 research rotation, he remembered the struggles she had experienced with calculations as a P1 student and intentionally made time to help her prepare for the NAPLEX. “I never told him, but the fact that he remembered something I struggled with three years earlier helped prepare me to pass the NAPLEX the first time. I could easily write a book about experiences like these with Union faculty.” Today, Alex faithfully serves patients in her community at Walmart Pharmacy in Memphis, Tennessee.
Martina, who practices internal medicine at Baptist Medical Center South in Montgomery, Alabama, vividly recalls meeting Britney and Alex the first time. “I remember Britney walking around the classroom introducing herself to everyone, while Alex and I looked at her like she was crazy and wondered why she was so excited,” said with a laugh. Martina’s most cherished memory came when Britney and Alex stood by her side during a season of adversity, offering support when she needed it most. What began as a pharmacy school friendship became a lifelong connection. “I think it’s important to support friends during their lowest moments.
Even though we are now miles apart, we are closer than ever. I love it when we spend time together — our girls’ trips are the absolute best. Alex and Britney are my sisters from another mother. I love them so much, and I am forever grateful that God saw fit for us to cross paths.” Reflecting on their years at Union, all three alumni agree that the relationships they formed have become one of the greatest gifts of their pharmacy education. “It’s hard to imagine my life without these women,” Alex said. Britney agrees. “Union brought the three of us together, and I will always be grateful for the connection and lifelong friendship I gained with my sisters.” These meaningful connections do not end at commencement. In many cases, they grow into lifelong friendships that inspire alumni to remain engaged with the College and invest in its future. For Britney, Alex, and Martina, giving back is a natural extension of the support they received as students. “Union invested in us by providing not only a strong education, but also mentorship, support, and a sense of community that made us feel valued,” Britney said. Today, through guest lectures, campus visits, and financial support of College of Pharmacy scholarships, they are helping ensure that future students experience the same sense of belonging that shaped their own journeys. Their story is a powerful reminder that the impact of Union extends far beyond the classroom. Every scholarship awarded, every student supported, and every opportunity created help cultivate the next generation of compassionate pharmacists while fostering the relationships that sustain them throughout their careers and lives. The College of Pharmacy is grateful for their time and generosity, as well as the many alumni whose faithful support continues to strengthen our mission and impact the lives of future pharmacists.

To 2034 and Beyond In March, the UUCOP welcomed a team from the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) as part of its second self-study review. The program was found to be compliant with all seven accreditation standards and received commendations from the site team for the completeness and transparency of the self-study report, the relevance of its supporting documentation, and its overall organization. This outstanding outcome is a testament to the exceptional leadership of Self-Study Chair Dr. Zac Halford and the collective commitment and collaboration of the College of Pharmacy’s faculty and staff. In recognition of these efforts, UUCOP’s accreditation has been reaffirmed through June 30, 2034, the maximum accreditation term awarded by ACPE. This achievement reflects the College’s continued dedication to excellence in pharmacy education and its unwavering commitment to preparing the next generation of pharmacists.
Bringing Pharmacy to the Big Screen As both a critical care pharmacist and educator, Dr. Austin Camp is passionate about improving the public’s understanding of healthcare, particularly the many roles pharmacists play in patient care. That passion inspired him to write and co-produce Thirteen Weeks, a feature-length medical romantic comedy currently in post-production. While medical television has enjoyed renewed popularity, pharmacists remain largely absent or inaccurately portrayed in film and television. Thirteen Weeks seeks to help address that gap by presenting an authentic depiction of the multidisciplinary ICU team. The film features a critical care
pharmacist as a central character, showcasing the pharmacist’s role in interdisciplinary rounds, emergency response, and complex medication management as an integral member of the ICU team. By combining entertainment with medical authenticity, the project aims to increase public awareness of the essential contributions pharmacists make to patient care while highlighting the collaborative nature of modern healthcare. As the film moves through post-production, Dr. Camp looks forward to sharing this unique story with audiences and continuing to advocate for the pharmacy profession through education, media, and creative scholarship.
Summer Camp for Future Pharmacists In June, the Union University College of Pharmacy hosted its sixth annual Pharmacy Camp for high school students interested in exploring a future in the pharmacy profession. Students traveled from Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri, and Michigan to participate in this immersive three-day experience. Throughout the camp, students gained firsthand exposure to the many facets of pharmacy practice. They worked through patient case scenarios, compounded products in the pharmaceutics lab, learned about pharmacy research, and developed skills for counseling patients on nonprescription medications. Campers also toured Cavalier Pharmacy and explored a variety of
10
2026 DEAN’S REPORT
pharmacy services at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital. Beyond the educational experiences, campers enjoyed opportunities to connect with one another and experience campus life. Highlights included a campus-wide scavenger hunt and a trip to a Rockabillys baseball game. Camp organizer Mrs. Kristin Taylor, with the support of College of Pharmacy faculty, preceptors, staff, and students, works diligently to create a meaningful and memorable experience for every participant. Together, they help ensure that each camper leaves campus with a deeper understanding of the pharmacy profession and a true taste of the Union experience.
