or their ongoing commitment to students and pharmacy education, two School of Pharmacy faculty members were inducted into the Norman C. Nelson Order of Teaching Excellence at the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
The inductees are Lauren S. Bloodworth, director of student affairs, clinical assistant professor of pharmacy practice, and coordinator of student services and student professional development; and Kayla R. Stover, clinical assistant professor of pharmacy practice.
The 2012-13 inductees were honored at a May 1 luncheon with Dr. Nelson, vice chancellor emeritus for health affairs, in the student union at UMMC, which bears his name. The recipients each wore an embossed purple sash in recognition of the honor during UMMC’s May commencement ceremony, and a plaque bearing their names hangs on the Norman C. Nelson Wall of Honor.
The Nelson Order was created to recognize outstanding teachers in all of the professional schools at UMMC.
“We’re extremely proud of Dr. Bloodworth and Dr. Stover,” said Leigh Ann Ross, associate dean for clinical affairs and chair of pharmacy practice. “On behalf of all of us in the pharmacy school, I commend them both for their devotion to students, teaching and our institution’s mission of providing the highest quality health care education.”
