Great news regarding the UHH College of Pharmacy! A diverse mix of faculty although none with obvious ties to Hawaii except for Ron Taniguchi.

UHH College of Pharmacy welcomes its new faculty

Nine new faculty members in the College of Pharmacy started the new school year this week at the University of Hawaii at Hilo. One year after the first student began studying for a doctorate in pharmacy in Hilo, the college has grown from a staff of about 15 to 32. Over the next two to three years, plans call for reaching a total staff of about 70.

"The addition of these outstanding professionals strengthens the University's stance to help stabilize the future of Hawaii," said Dean John Pezzuto. "Our faculty will be training a vital force in the health care field that we hope will stay here and contribute to the local economy through jobs and helping people stay healthy. They are already interacting and starting projects with other faculty, both in pharmacy and in the university-at-large, and we're proud to welcome them into our community."
