PharmTox alumni are leaders in healthcare, academia, industry, entrepreneurship, government, and law. The Pharmacology and Toxicology Alumnus of the Year award, sponsored by the UW–Madison Pharmacy Alumni Association (PAA), honors an alum whose exceptional professional achievements have brought distinction to themselves, credit to UW–Madison, and benefit to their vocational community and/or residential community (e.g., town, city, state), in any career field.

The recipient will be recognized at the PharmTox graduation celebration during Commencement and will have the opportunity to speak to the PharmTox graduating class and their honored guests.

To be eligible for nomination, the person must be:

1. a graduate of the Pharmacology and Toxicology undergraduate program at the UW–Madison School of Pharmacy, and
2. at least 10 years beyond their graduation year

To nominate a member of the alumni for the award, we ask that you submit a one-page nomination letter that describes the following:

• What are the unique achievements that have brought distinction to the nominee and impacted their profession? In what ways have the nominee’s achievements truly been extraordinary?  Please describe and interpret the nominee’s accomplishments in terms that a lay reader can understand.
• What are the recognized contributions made by the nominee that demonstrate a benefit to the larger community and/or service to society? How has the nominee exemplified the Wisconsin Idea?

You may nominate multiple individuals, including yourself. Nominations submitted in prior years will automatically be reconsidered for this year.

The annual deadline for nominations is October 15 of each year.

Nomination letters can be submitted via email to Kendra Gurnee, PharmTox Program Coordinator, at kgurnee@wisc.edu.
