This month, we are learning about Colleen Gross-Advani, the coordinator of the Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences.
Tell us about your role at the College of Pharmacy.
I administer the Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences (IPPEs) in the first three years of the curriculum, and coordinate scheduling for all four years of experiential education. I really like working with students but also get to use my detail-orientation with rotation scheduling and the E*Value work I do.

I love country music, especially Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts and Blake Shelton.

Take long walks with my dog, Hubble.

Friendly.

Create beaded jewelry.
