Dr. Dana Simonson

Dr. Dana Simonson, Pharmacy Alumni Society president from 2020 to 2021, has been far more than a presidential leader. She has been an innovative thinker who developed and implemented  new ideas for connecting alumni and our entire pharmacy community over the past two years. Under Dr. Simonson’s leadership during the pandemic, the focus became one of finding unique virtual cultural events that illuminated different parts of the University of Minnesota. These fun and creative virtual events  were well received and engaged an audience without regard to geographic area. Dr. Simonson’s commitment to the college and our students has been integral to the success of Alumni Affairs in the past year.
