USP Professor Receives Administrative Fellowship 

University of the Sciences in Philadelphia (USP) recently announced that Dr. Shanaz Tejani-Butt has been named the recipient of the 2003-04 USP Administrative Fellowship. The Fellowship is designed to introduce a faculty member to all aspects of administration at the University, with special emphasis on how the different divisions work together to provide overall leadership.

This experience will be an opportunity for Dr. Tejani-Butt, professor of pharmacology and toxicology at USP, to broaden her experiences both administratively and professionally. Her responsibilities will include attending administrative meetings, interacting with various departments across the University, developing a major project of interest to her, and participating in ongoing administrative activities.

“I am excited with the prospects of this fellowship,” says Dr. Tejani-Butt, “because it will not only provide a better understanding and appreciation of the role of administrative organization at USP, but will also challenge my own potential for advancement in academic administration in the future.”

University of the Sciences in Philadelphia is a private, coeducational institution founded in 1821 as Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, the first college of pharmacy in North America. USP specializes in educating students for rewarding careers through its undergraduate, graduate and doctoral degree programs in the health and related sciences.
