                 DUQUESNE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF PHARMACY

 Mr. SANTORUM. Mr. President, I rise today to congratulate the 
Duquesne University School of Pharmacy on its 75th anniversary. Since 
September 21, 1925, the school has made valuable contributions to our 
nation by training thousands of pharmacists who serve the healthcare 
needs of our communities.
  The mission of the School of Pharmacy, Mr. President, is to prepare 
students for life-long learning and careers in the profession of 
pharmacy. The school accomplishes this through outcome competency-based 
programs with an emphasis on appreciation for ethical and spiritual 
values. Moreover, the school conveys to students a foundation in the 
pharmaceutical, administrative, social and clinical sciences which are 
the bases for pharmaceutical care and research. Students, furthermore, 
acquire the ability to think critically and communicate effectively; 
and to understand personal, professional and social responsibilities.
  Mr. President, it is with these ideas in mind that I ask my 
colleagues to join with me in congratulating the Duquesne University 
School of Pharmacy for its invaluable service to our nation. The health 
of our friends, families and neighbors is dependent on the diligent 
work of schools such as this.
