In a recent email to faculty and staff at the College of Pharmacy, Hanlon wrote that Frank Ascione will step down as dean Aug. 31, 2014, after a decade of service.
“During his tenure Dean Ascione has successfully championed the enhancement of the College’s organizational structure and the improvement of the educational experience for a record number of pharmacy students. He has grown the college through increased numbers of faculty and staff while improving the college’s facilities and increasing and diversifying revenue,” Hanlon wrote. “The College of Pharmacy has thrived under Dean Ascione’s leadership as it has developed more innovative practice models to improve patient care, developed research Centers of Excellence, and expanded educational programs.”
