A NEW FRONTIER
USP BULLETIN IS A PUBLICATION
OF UNIVERSITY OF THE SCIENCES
IN PHILADELPHIA
Dear Readers,
Although we are enthusiastic about every issue of the USP Bulletin, we are particularly
excited about this one.This is the first edition of the USP Bulletin to be designed
by USP’s in-house staff of graphic designers. Angela Buchanico, creative director, and
Jessica Robles Worch, production assistant/junior graphic designer, refreshed the existing design of the publication and completed the layout and production.We hope you’ll
agree that the end result is a publication that is not only interesting and informative
but beautifully executed as well!
Having an in-house graphic design team is a new frontier for USP and has enabled
the University to enhance its marketing communication materials, which are sent to
USP’s many audiences—from prospective and current students to alumni, family, and
friends, to name just a few.We now have more flexibility to produce a USP Bulletin
each quarter that is timely and whose content is even more newsworthy.
I would like to extend a special thank you to Angela and Jessica and to the many
people within the USP community who help to make this publication possible.
We hope you enjoy it and look forward to hearing your feedback.

USP Bulletin, University of the Sciences in
Philadelphia, 600 South 43rd Street,
Philadelphia, PA 19104-4495, Attention:
Marie Schwarzl. Periodicals postage paid at
Philadelphia, PA. University of the Sciences
in Philadelphia admits students of any gender,
age, disability, race, creed, color, sexual orientation, or national origin. The University is
an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
Employer.
MEDICARE PART D has been in the news
for well over a year now, and USP
experts have written about it and
have been quoted and interviewed on the subject on both
regional and national levels.
With the implementation of the
Medicare Prescription Drug,
Improvement, and Modernization
Act of 2003 (MMA) in January,
USP has taken an active role
in educating students, the health
care community, health policy
makers, and the public at
large about the impact of the plan.
“A major provision of the
MMA is the creation of a new
prescription drug benefit under
Medicare Part D,” says
RICHARD STEFANACCI, DO,
MGH, MBA, AGSF, CMD, founding executive director of USP’s
Health Policy Institute. “This will
affect all stakeholders involved in health
care, not solely those limited to seniors.”
The impact of the new drug benefit
will reach well beyond Medicare beneficiaries to affect managed care plans, physicians,
hospitals, pharmaceutical manufacturers,
long-term care facilities, hospice and home
health agencies, ambulatory surgical centers,
insurance companies, and state governments.
USP is taking a multipronged approach
to educating stakeholders about the potential impact of the benefit, says Dr. Stefanacci.
“We’re serving as an important resource in
educating Medicare beneficiaries and key
stakeholders about the new drug benefit
USP BULLETIN: MEDICARE PART D PAGE 5
through speakers bureaus for major pharmaceutical companies, by providing resources
in physicians’ offices, via an ongoing speaker
series at USP, and by providing training to
physicians and pharmacists involved in senior
care to help them educate beneficiaries.”
In addition, the Health Policy Institute
has been instrumental in providing research
and white papers, toolkits for physicians and
pharmacists, information about Medicare
Part D, and consulting services for health
plans and other organizations looking
to determine the impact of MMA. Health
policy experts from USP will be lecturing at
various national meetings throughout the
year to identify the concerns of health care
providers and policymakers.
“As the oldest school of pharmacy in
the country, it’s a natural fit for us to play
a significant role in educating seniors and
stakeholders in the pharmaceutical industry
about how they will have access to medication in the future. We have a responsibility
to do the necessary research and education
and affect health policy going forward,”
says Dr. Stefanacci. “The United States population of seniors will grow from 35 million
to 80 million over the next two decades.
This growth will cause an increased need for
pharmaceutical products. As a result, how
pharmaceuticals are accessed and paid for
will have a major effect not only on the
health and wellness of seniors but on how
valuable resources are allocated.”
As part of USP’s education initiative, the
health policy program hosted an ongoing
speaker series last semester about the MMA
designed to highlight the changes that can
be expected from a broad range of perspectives. The speaker series featured individuals
from the long-term care community, health
plans and insurance carriers, the Centers
for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the pharmaceutical industry, and advocates for
elder care.
The Health Policy Institute is also working with state legislatures to determine the
best way to address issues of concern for
Medicaid beneficiaries. Under the new drug
benefit, all prescription coverage under
Medicaid will be shifted into Medicare
prescription plans. As a result, individuals
who were dually eligible for Medicare
and Medicaid—many of whom are elderly
and in long-term care facilities—face a number of limitations and exclusions on their
prescription plans.
“Because we’re a stone’s throw away
from Washington, where the legislation was
developed, we’re in a unique position to
influence important policy issues that have
come about as a result of this new drug
benefit,” says Dr. Stefanacci.
ROBERT FIELD, JD, MPH, PhD,
director of USP’s graduate program in health
policy adds, “We can make an important
contribution to the health care community
by offering our combined expertise on
pharmacy and policy issues. We’re closely
analyzing issues relating to the Medicare
benefit as they arise and have brought
together a variety of stakeholders in the
drug benefit program through our speaker
series. The summaries of these talks will
be available on our website, which will
also provide other resources and updates
concerning MMA’s implementation.” (See
www.healthpolicy.usip.edu.)
“The new drug benefit will bring significant financial and policy implications to
clinical care,” says Mark H. Beers, MD,

Another presenter who took part in the
health policy program’s speaker series, Paul
Baldwin, executive director of the Long
Term Care Pharmacy Alliance in Washington,
D.C., notes, “Now that USP has expanded
into the health policy arena, people are
looking to the university as an authoritative

Practice and Pharmacy Administration and

USP. In addition, students are being encouraged to attend Medicare Part D continuing
education programs to learn more about
the benefit.
USP currently has a grant proposal to
allow students in the school of pharmacy
to meet with seniors in the local community
to educate them about how to select their
pharmacy providers and enroll in Medicare
Part D. If the grant is approved, students
will team up with local churches to speak
to seniors in their congregations about the
benefit and what they need to do to enroll
in Medicare Part D. Students will learn
about the benefit and use that knowledge
to educate seniors about various requirements of the prescription plan.
“Through education and local outreach
programs, we are preparing our students to
address this important issue now and into
the future,” says USP associate professor
LIZA TAKIYA PharmD. It is an extremely
important role that will help shape the
understanding and implementation of this
far-reaching benefit.

conjure up a bevy of images and memories:
the hiss of a Bunsen burner, scratched safety

properly dispose of toxic waste is as important as knowing the Periodic Table. It is this
atmosphere that drove a young chemistry
undergraduate into the University’s hub of
theory, the West Center for Computational
Chemistry and Drug Design. “It was the
thought of having to wear safety glasses that
drove me to Preston Moore’s office,” says
RAEANNE NAPOLEON C’05. “And,” she
adds upon consideration, “a love for theoretical research and tackling big problems.”

It is this fascination with large theoretical
problems, problems that require the equivalent
of 128 computers to process, that Napoleon
shares with her research mentor and West
Center Director, PRESTON MOORE, PhD.
Dr. Moore is one of six full-time researchers
who use the West Center resources to apply
theoretical and computational methods to
chemical and biological problems. These
methods help researchers solve mathematical
models describing the nuclei and electrons
that make up small molecules like aspirin
and large protein molecules like hemoglobin.
As the mathematical models and computational power improve, chemists will be able
to expand their ability to predict the behavior of molecules. This, in turn, will allow
West Center researchers to solve many practical problems, including simplifying the
design of new drugs.
VOJISLAVA POPHRISTIC, PhD, for
example, uses “molecular dynamics” computational methods to advance her efforts
to develop an antidote to heparin, which
is widely used as an anticoagulant drug
for treatment and prevention of thrombosis.
RANDY ZAUHAR, PhD, on the other
hand, is developing a “shape signature”
computational method to tackle the problem
of designing drug molecules, or inhibitors,
against highly mutable targets such as
HIV protease.
Computational chemistry is a rapidly
growing field that is continually developing
more powerful computational tools to improve the ability of these methods.
According to EDWARD BIRNBAUM, PhD,
chair of the Department of Chemistry &
Biochemistry, “As long as Gordon E. Moore’s
law is still applicable and we continue to
double computational speed every year or
so, we’re going to keep finding better ways
to do computational work.”
Recognizing the field’s potential and seeing an opportunity to lead, the University
has made significant investments in staffing
and instrumentation over the last five years.
The result is a rare combination of caliber
and breadth, especially for such a small
department. “A typical department of chem-
istry with 20 faculty members will have one
computational chemist,” says Dr. Moore.
“We have six.”
The West Center is also a rare forum for
researchers from disparate fields to come
together to work on common problems but
from different perspectives. “For example,
I’m doing molecular dynamic simulation,
which is one part of computational chemistry. GUILLERMO MOYNA, PhD, is
doing electronic structuring, which is what
most people associate with theoretical
chemistry. MICHAEL BRUIST, PhD, is
investigating the dynamics of DNA in
DNA-protein structures and unusual DNA
structures, and ZHIJUN LI, PhD, is doing
bioinformatics homology modeling, which
is a way of determining protein structure
so that drugs can be designed virtually on a
computer,” says Dr. Moore. “It’s very diverse,
but all have a need for large computations.”
The National Science Foundation (NSF)
West Center Director, Dr. Preston Moore and Niny Rao, PhD.
“Not only is the West Center
a vital resource for our own
researchers throughout the
University, but now with the
future possibility of short
courses, it also has great
potential for affecting our
industry partners nationally.”
SUSAN BARRETT
Assistant Vice President for
Corporate, Foundation, and
Alumni Relations
cited USP’s concentration of expertise and
common need and its focus on collaborative
research as the major factors in its decision
to award the University a nationally competitive Major Research Instrumentation
grant in 2004. “It was a feather in our cap,”
says Dr. Moore, “because USP’s proposal
was pitted against larger topflight research
institutions like University of Illinois and
Carnegie Mellon University.”
Awarded on merit alone, Dr. Moore’s
NSF grant allowed the University to purchase a Beowulf Supercomputer Cluster
with the processing capability of 128 computers. The NSF grant, although critical
to the advancement of the West Center,
built on the early accomplishments of Dr.
Birnbaum, who advocated for the establishment of a center for computational chemistry and secured the first successful grant
from the H.O. West Foundation.
Without the visionary generosity of
the H.O. West Foundation, Drs. Zauhar
and Moyna—USP’s first computational
chemists—would not have been able to
fashion the University’s first computer cluster (20 CPUs) that established the center
that bears the foundation’s name.
On the momentum of this early and
steady success, the West Center is driving
forward. “Our immediate goals at the
West Center are threefold,” says Dr.
Birnbaum, “to reach out to the corporate
community with consulting services and
possibly a series of short courses in computational chemistry, to expand the profile
and use of the center throughout the various
departments in the University, and to offer
more research opportunities to students,
particularly undergraduates.”
This latter effort is what allowed
Napoleon to contribute to research that has
culminated in three published papers and
one pending publication. Now a graduate
student at the University of Pennsylvania,
Napoleon says she feels lucky about “getting
in on the ground floor…when the West
Center was basically me and Dr. Moore.”
Napoleon cites
her research experience at the West
Center as one reason she feels she
has a jump on her
graduate school
peers. After three
years working with
Dr. Moore in the
West Center,
Napoleon has a
clearer sense of her
research interests.
As her own academic career and
research interests
flourish,
so, too, does
the West
Center.
According to
Napoleon,
“Based on the
growth I’ve seen
over the past few
years, I have no
doubt that the West
Center is on the verge
of national recognition.”
Establishing the West
Center as a nationally recognized center of excellence
is on the minds of everyone
involved with the center. SUSAN
BARRETT, MEd, assistant vice president for corporate, foundation, and alumni
relations, works closely with the West Center
and shares its goals. “There are incredible
opportunities for everyone,” says Barrett.
“Not only is the West Center a vital resource
for our own researchers throughout the
University,” she notes, “but now with the
future possibility of short courses, it also
has great potential for affecting our industry
partners nationally.”
The West Center is now exploring how
best to offer a series of short courses in
computational chemistry and related areas
specifically geared for a corporate or industry
audience. These proposed one- to two-day
workshops will be designed to introduce
industrial scientists and managers to the
power of the methodology and the tools
used in computational chemistry and
improve the skills of scientists who are
already well versed in this methodology.
There’s no doubt that the West Center
is an active laboratory—having generated
over 20 published papers in the last two
years alone—but for now, it only has the
resources to process one large mathematical
problem at a time. As interest among
University and industry researchers grows,
time with the computer becomes a tighter
commodity. It’s a lot like astronomers

PROFESSIONALISM AND
RESPONSIBILITY
The White Coat Ceremony is a relatively
new phenomenon throughout the health
sciences. The first was held at the Arnold P.
Gold Foundation of Columbia University
College of Physicians and Surgeons in New
York in 1993 and was used to impress on
future physicians their “Hippocratic responsibilities.” The idea quickly caught on,
and many health-related professions introduced the ceremony into the first year of
the curriculum to remind students of their
heavy responsibilities as members of a
caring profession.
At PCP, the ceremony is held at the start
of students’ third year, the beginning of their

encouraging students to believe they can
accomplish this. “I remember sitting in that

Dr. Zarus. “Now look at me. You can do
anything you want in this profession.”
ELENA UMLAND PharmD, director
of the doctor of pharmacy program, then
introduced each student to the audience,
and each was greeted by a faculty member
and Dean DiGate. The students received
USP/PCP lapel pins from the faculty and
pinned each other at the end of the introduc-
professional studies. “The symbolism is particularly pertinent in our program,” says
RUSSELL DIGATE, PhD, current dean of
PCP, “because most USP students enter the
college of pharmacy right out of high
school. After two years of preprofessional
studies, this ceremony ushers them into the
professional phase of the program, where
they will be held to the highest standards.”
The white coat, which has USP and
Philadelphia College of Pharmacy embroidered on it, is worn for the first time for
the ceremony and symbolizes the student’s
acceptance into the brother- and sisterhood

careers at USP, using them in labs and
on rotations.

Global Health Fellow program
sends employees into developing
countries with high rates of
HIV/AIDS in an attempt to have
a beneficial effect on local health
care delivery systems. When Dr.
Hilligoss noticed the Cambodia position combined his training in
pharmacy and pediatrics, he recalled his earlier desire.
Dr. Hilligoss joined a multinational volunteer team at AHC.
The hospital resulted from a trip photographer Kenro Izu made to
photograph the Angkor monuments. Moved by the sight of so many
children without medical care, he founded Friends Without A Border,
and the hospital opened in 1999.
AHC administrators asked Dr. Hilligoss to train and encourage
the three hospital pharmacists to move out into patient care areas,
becoming more involved. A heavy outpatient load, filling some 300
prescriptions a day, makes this difficult.
To achieve the goal, Dr. Hilligoss and the pharmacists went on
teaching rounds, became more involved in patient teaching, and
provided consultations. “Basically,” he says, “I just did what Phil
Gerbino, John Gans, George Downs, and Pete Vlasses taught me
to do 30 years ago.”
Current USP faculty, including Drs. Adeboye Adejare, Russell
DiGate and Barbara Byrne, helped Dr. Hilligoss prepare for his trip.
They provided the syllabus and lecture notes for the USP pharmacology and medicinal chemistry course. He selected modules pertinent
to AHC as the basis for his lecture series.
Dr. Hilligoss received his doctor of pharmacy from USP in 1975.
He worked for two years as clinical coordinator of pediatric pharmacy services at The New York
Hospital-Cornell University
Medical College and then as a
pharmacist at the University
of California at Los Angeles
Hospital. In 1980, Dr. Hilligoss
became an assistant clinical
professor of pharmacy and pediatrics at West Virginia University
Medical Center in Charleston.
Eight years later, he joined Pfizer
in Groton, Connecticut, as a
senior clinical investigator,
becoming an associate director
in 1991.
One gratifying experience in
Cambodia was seeing the drug
fluconazole, an antifungal, being
used to help children dealing
with malnutrition and HIV.
Angkor Hospital for Children in Siem Reap, Cambodia,
became Dr. Hilligoss’s workplace for three months,
thanks to a unique program offered by his employer,
Pfizer Global Research and Development.
While the drug being dispensed at AHC was a generic made in
India, the package inserts contained specific information on pharmacokinetics and drug interactions directly out of Phase I studies Dr.
Hilligoss had done with pediatric patients at Pfizer in the late-1980s.
Dr. Hilligoss hopes to return to AHC. “It was much more personally rewarding than anything I’ve done lately,” he said. “I would
encourage USP students to go on foreign rotations; I would even be
willing to take a few over to Cambodia with me.”

SARAH SPINLER TO
SERVE ON MEDICARE
MODEL GUIDELINES
COMMITTEE
Members of the United States
Pharmacopeia elected SARAH
SPINLER PharmD, professor of
clinical pharmacy, to head the
Cardiovascular Information Expert Committee and to serve
on the U.S. Pharmacopeia’s Model Guidelines Expert
Committee (MGEC). The Cardiovascular Information Expert
Committee is one of 16 therapeutic-area committees that will
support the MGEC. As the MGEC revises and updates the
Medicare Model Guidelines, a classification system prescription drug benefit plans may use to develop their formularies,
the expert committees will provide expertise.
The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and
Modernization Act (MMA) designated the U.S. Pharmacopeia,
which sets official quality standards for medicines manufactured and sold in the U.S., to create the Model Guidelines
and to revise them as necessary. The U.S. Pharmacopeia plans
to update the guidelines at least annually, reviewing materials
for new FDA-approved drugs, incorporating changes in usage
for covered drugs, and considering comments and feedback.
Dr. Spinler will serve for five years. “It is an honor to
serve on the Medicare Model Guidelines Committee,” says
Dr. Spinler, “especially when one of our roles is to help
ensure that older Americans have access to the medications
they need.”
USP has a long history with the U.S. Pharmacopeia, dating
back to 1830 when George B. Wood, MD, professor of
chemistry, was involved in the first revision to the United
States Pharmacopeia. “Members of the USP faculty have
been involved with the U.S. Pharmacopeia since its inception,” says Roger L. Williams, MD, executive vice president
and CEO of the U.S. Pharmacopeia. “It’s a privilege to have
another USP professor serving in this key role.”
700 STUDENTS GET REAL-WORLD
EXPERIENCE AT CAREER FAIR
MARTIN LUTHER KING
CELEBRATION
USP students had a unique opportunity to meet prospective
employers and practice their interviewing skills during the fall
Career Fair sponsored by USP’s Career Services Department
held in October. Nearly 700 students, representing virtually
every USP major, participated in the event to meet employers
and discuss career and internship opportunities. More than
60 medical centers, pharmaceutical companies, health care
providers, laboratories, and corporations were represented
at the fair.
“It’s important for students to participate in these types
of events to become familiar with many of the companies
who will seek to hire USP talent when they prepare to graduate,” says PATRICIA PETERSON, MEd, director of Career
Services. “Additionally, students learn how to market themselves in a professional manner.”
Career Services offers a number of programs to help students polish their interview skills and professionalize their
appearance. The department will host its annual Etiquette
Dinner in March to help students refine their dining skills.
A series of
interview days
will also be
held throughout
the semester to
give graduating
seniors an
opportunity to
interview for
real job opportunities with
employers.

COLLOQUIUM GIVES FACULTY
TOOLS TO INCREASE RESEARCH
USP faculty and administrators gathered in December for the
Second Annual USP Research Colloquium. Hosted by the
Office of Sponsored Projects and Research, the daylong event
showcased recent advancements in research at the University
and offered an interactive forum for faculty to learn how to
find funding for research. BARBARA BYRNE, PhD, vice
president of academic affairs, said the Research Colloquium
“sets the tone for USP’s research agenda” and provides an
important opportunity to discuss “what has been and what
will be.”
The colloquium featured guest panelists and funding
experts drawn directly from the University’s ranks. KAREN
MITCHELL, director of the office of sponsored projects and
research, moderated a panel discussion featuring staff from
institutional advancement who discussed the various avenues
of funding faculty can pursue, from corporations to foundations and government agencies. RUSSELL DIGATE, PhD,
dean of Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, followed with a
panel discussion devoted to demystifying the grant application review processes at the National Institutes of Health
and the National Science Foundation.
The day culminated in a series of group activities designed
to introduce faculty to concepts of how to generate a fundable hypothesis and build collaborative partnerships. For
RODNEY WIGENT, PhD, dean of the College of Graduate
Studies and director of academic research, the colloquium
was emblematic of the emerging research culture at USP.
“We all need to pull together and participate to make this
[research] happen,” said Dr. Wigent, “because, after all,
scholarship is for everyone.”
USP celebrated Martin Luther
King, Jr.’s birthday by hosting
best-selling New York Times
author Omar Tyree (shown
at right) combined with
a poster presentation on
service learning.
The 2001 NAACP Image
Award recipient, Tyree presented a lecture titled, “Has
the Dream Been Attained?”
Tyree reflected on the movement of self-empowerment that
took place in the ’60s and Martin Luther King, Jr.’s march
on poverty.
The poster presentation reflected the many community
service activities in which USP students, faculty, and staff are
personally and professionally involved. The poster presentations included:
• Kappa Epsilon fraternity
and their work to raise
awareness of breast cancer
• Bridging the Gaps, a
summer program that
provides service to
underserved populations
while training community
responsive health and
social service professionals
• A service learning class comprised of occupational and
physical therapy students who worked with members of a
quadriplegic rugby team
The poster program was sponsored by the Center for
Community Connections in the Division of Student Affairs,
the Service Learning Committee, and the Civic Engagement
Steering Committee.

ASSESMENT OF HEART
FAILURE DRUG
GRACE EARL PharmD, assistant
professor in the Department of
Pharmacy Practice and Pharmacy
Administration, coauthored an article
on the heart failure drug levosimendan
with James Fitzpatrick, MD, from the Advanced Heart
Failure/Transplant Center at Temple University. The article,
published in Annals of Pharmacotherapy, evaluates the results
of studies of the new calcium sensitizer levosimendan. It was
published online, October 11, 2005, at www.theannals.com
and in print in the journal’s November 2005 issue.
The article examines the clinical trials and pharmacokinetic
studies evaluating the safety and efficacy of levosimendan. This
drug is in Phase III clinical trials and will likely be submitted
for approval to the FDA in the near future. It may be a viable
alternative to intravenous drugs such as dobutamine and milrinone used to treat patients hospitalized for acute heart failure.
Patients with decompensated heart failure or patients awaiting
heart transplantation may require intravenous drugs to increase
cardiac output and relieve pulmonary congestion. “Levosimendan
is effective and appears to have a lower frequency of adverse
outcomes,” says Dr. Earl. “My colleague and I were interested in
evaluating the available research on levosimendan because it has
a unique mechanism of action. Levosimendan differs from all
other available intravenous drugs in its ability to enhance the
pumping action of the heart.”
Dr. Earl’s interest in levosimendan comes out of her clinical
practice at the Center for Advanced Heart Failure Management
at Hahnemann University Hospital. Students in the doctor of
pharmacy program have visited this site for their sixth-year
Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience course since 2001.
Students attending this rotation gain a better understanding of
the pharmacotherapeutic management of patients with heart
failure or following heart transplantation. Students interact
with nurses and physicians in an outpatient setting to perform
medication histories, offer patient counseling and in-services,
and answer drug information questions.

DR.VAS’ WORK RATED AMONG TOP 25
HOTTEST ARTICLES
The ScienceDirect TOP25 Hottest Articles for the Journal of
Algebra included an article by LIA VAS, PhD, assistant professor
of mathematics at USP. The quarterly list of the 25 most downloaded articles ranked Dr. Vas’s article, “Dimension and torsion
theories for a class of Baer *-rings,” as the 16th most downloaded
for the Journal of Algebra. It was originally published in the
Journal of Algebra’s July 2005 print issue.
“The Journal of Algebra is one of the premier journals in the
field of algebra,” says Dr. Vas. “I was pleased to have my work
accepted for publication there. It was very exciting to find out
subscribers to ScienceDirect were so interested in accessing the
article as well.”
Dr. Vas, who has been at USP for three years, says that the article generalizes the notion of dimension of a finite von Neumann
algebra to a larger class of purely algebraic objects. Von Neumann
algebras are used in functional analysis, geometry, and topology
as well as in theoretical physics. The result of the paper is interesting since the dimension of a von Neumann algebra is defined
using its geometric and topological structure that the purely
algebraic objects are lacking. The research of Dr. Vas shows that
the dimension can be defined for this class of algebraic objects
as well.
ScienceDirect is the fruition of a project taken on by Elsevier,
the publisher of more than 2,000 scientific and health care journals, and eight universities to create a digital library. The website’s
database contains the full text of more than 25 percent of the
world’s scientific, technological, and medical literature in an
easy-to-access format. Subscribers receive access to material even
before it appears in the print journal. The website publishes a
list of the most downloaded articles for each quarter from its
journals, which helps subscribers keep track of the trends in
their specialties.

Gift Annuity with USP. These philanthropic Hall of Famers have
released assets now while maintaining an income stream for as
long as they live.
Additional members of our recognition society include donors
who have placed major assets in a charitable trust, not only to
meet personal income needs during their life, but to benefit USP
in the years ahead. They, too, deserve a standing ovation!

our endowment program. These discerning donors reveal a winning
attitude as they invest in the future of the University. They excel
in their commitment to permanence.

USP Benefactors Society. Rather, it’s the excellence of your
discernment–seeing tomorrow’s needs today.
K Please send information about making a planned gift.
K Please contact me about a personal visit.
The best time to call me is: ___________________
We would like to induct you into our planned giving Donor Hall
of Fame. We want to honor you and introduce you to other champions who have made a meaningful deferred gift to University of the
