Earlier this fall, the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences hosted its annual Young Alumni Awards, a heartfelt evening honoring six graduates whose early careers are already making waves in the pharmacy profession. Presented by the Pharmacy Student Governance Association and held in the University Commons, the event welcomed students, faculty, and alumni for an inspiring night of connection and celebration.

This year’s honorees—Dr. George Abdallah ’13/PharmD’15, Dr. Nicole DeFeo ’14/PharmD’18, Dr. Chris Maminakis ’16/PharmD’18, Dr. Kristie Reed PharmD’15, Dr. Alana Regan ’14/PharmD’16, and Dr. Christy Soverow ’16/PharmD’18—shared stories of growth, purpose, and the many paths a Doctor of Pharmacy degree can lead to. From hospital leadership to psychiatric care and pharmaceutical innovation, their journeys reflected passion and impact.
