Colleagues respond to Dean Koda-Kimble’s retirement announcement
Following the UCSF website's announcement of School of Pharmacy Dean Mary Anne Koda-Kimble's June 30, 2012 retirement came comments from leaders at UCSF and beyond. Koda-Kimble, whose 46 years at UCSF began as a PharmD student, became (in 1998) the first female dean of the top-ranked pharmacy school in the nation and the first leader from a clinical background. Her deanship carries an impressive legacy—from strengthening and expanding laboratory-based research programs to breaking new ground for programs that move research discoveries closer to clinical application.
