Alumnae Margaret Hempling McGlynn, BS '82, MBA, '83, visited our school on Friday, April 21, to speak to first-year PharmD students about being successful in their career.
During her time at UB, McGlynn took advantage of the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences' dual degree program, graduating with a BS and an MBA. This allowed her to take on leadership roles in the pharmaceutical industry, including chief executive officer of the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative and president of the Global Vaccine and Infectious Disease Division at Merck.
She stressed the importance of the role of pharmacists in today's healthcare landscape, and reminded students that they have the opportunity to make a tremendous difference in their patients' lives through education and collaboration.
McGlynn will receive an honorary doctorate of science at the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences’ commencement ceremony on May 20.
