2015 Jun 8

Leah Parry of Rolla, Mo. was among 206 graduates of the St. Louis College of Pharmacy Class of 2015. Parry is a graduate of Rolla Senior High School. She is the daughter of Wayne and Jo Lynn Parry.

During Commencement at the Peabody Opera House in downtown St. Louis, the graduates strode across the stage as they were bestowed a Doctor of Pharmacy degree. The graduates included 31 students who joined the College at the start of the professional program. Before the class of 2015, the College had never accepted more than 10 new transfer students in any given year.

In his opening remarks, College President John A. Pieper, Pharm.D., told the class they were more dedicated to community service than any student pharmacists in the country. The graduation's distinguished speaker was Steve Lipstein, president and chief executive officer of BJC HealthCare.
