When UNMC broke ground for the Lozier Center for Pharmacy Sciences and Education and Center for Drug Discovery<\/b> in June, classes were officially out. So when the students came back for the new academic year, the College of Pharmacy invited them to take part in a second groundbreaking. Chancellor Harold M. Maurer, M.D.<\/b>, and Courtney Fletcher, Pharm.D.<\/b>, dean of pharmacy, made a few brief remarks and then invited student representatives, shown at right, to man golden shovels and turn some ceremonial dirt. A picnic lunch followed, and students, faculty and supporters of the College of Pharmacy ate hamburgers and hot dogs in the sun. For a Flickr slideshow of the event, click here.<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n
