Gayle Brazeau, Ph.D., dean of the College of Pharmacy, recently participated in the hosting of the Compass Program for Academic Advancement, a program of the Academy for Academic Leadership (AAL).

Nearly 60 people from the U.S. and abroad participated in this year鈥檚 Compass Program, which began with an orientation on September 1 and concluded on September 29.
This is the second year that Brazeau, an AAL senior consultant, has been involved in the program. 鈥淲hat鈥檚 exciting about being involved with the Compass Program for Academic Advancement is the opportunity to share insights which would have been useful during my early academic career,鈥 she said. 鈥淚t is a dynamic environment where everyone is learning from each other, all while using the online platform which is interactive and easy to navigate.鈥
