Dr. Tammy Hughes, professor of counseling, psychology and special education, is working with two graduate students in the Academic Institute, which is the school for juveniles being tried as adults in the Allegheny County Jail. The program was recently featured on NPR.

Dr. Chris O’Neil, professor of pharmacy practice and assistant dean of curricular development and interprofessional education, has been selected by the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists (ASCP) to receive the Armon Neel Senior Care Pharmacist Award.
