Dr. Ally Dering-Anderson receives UMNC College of Pharmacy teaching award<\/b><\/p>\n

Ally Dering-Anderson, PharmD, clinical associate professor of pharmacy practice and science, has been awarded the 2021 College of Pharmacy Distinguished Teaching Award, which is voted on by pharmacy students. The students surprised Dr. Dering-Anderson with the award at the conclusion of a recent Legal and Ethical Principles class. The presentation included balloons, flowers and the arrival of her parents, husband, daughter and a close family friend, while pulling up her son on Zoom.<\/p>\n

During the lecture, she’d mentioned her father, College of Pharmacy alumnus Jacob Dering. She then later noticed him in the room with, "Hey! That’s my dad!"<\/p>\n

Among the accolades in Dr. Dering-Anderson’s nomination for the award was this: "She cares for students like a parent would."<\/p>\n

Rachel Kunkle, a student in the BSN to PhD program and a graduate research assistant, was one of 34 individuals to receive one of the Gerontological Society of America’s prestigious awards during its annual scientific meeting. She recently received the James McKenney Student Travel Award, which advances student education on aging in memory of James McKenney.<\/p>\n

The society, the country’s largest interdisciplinary organization devoted to the field of aging, salutes outstanding research, recognizes distinguished leadership in teaching and service, and fosters new ideas through a host of awards. The recipients are nominated by their peers, and the recipients’ achievements serve as milestones in the history and development of gerontology.<\/p>\n

Kunkle’s research focuses on formal caregiver burden among nursing assistants in nursing homes. <\/p>\n
