Sigma Phi Epsilon @ Moravian College

Moravian college has been given a chance to voice their ideas for changing the healthcare system. The PharmaStrat Healthcare Future Leaders Essay Contest asks students to “identify a policy or a specific course of action that government could take regarding the U.S. healthcare system.”

Recently PharmaStrat awarded the 2008 prizes to Debra Evans, a biochemistry major, and Alicia Abbuhl, a business management major, for their essays. Each received a $1,000 scholarship and the opportunity to visit the PharmaStrat office in Flemington, N.J.

“I believe it is my obligation and duty to mentor the next generation of healthcare leaders,” said Phil Patrick, president and founder of PharmaStrat, Inc. “Each year I look forward to the creative ideas and energy provided by the students.” PharmaStrat is dedicated to providing a culture with an emphasis on education and professional development. Several Moravian College alumni have participated in internship and career development opportunities through the PharmaStrat Leadership Development Program.

Both Phil and Brian Corvino ’02, a partner at PharmaStrat, Inc., serve the Moravian community in other ways, as well—Phil as a Business and Industry Council mentor and Brian as Alumni Board President and Sigma Phi Epsilon advisor. Recent alumni Scott Shelbo ’07 and Kenneth Blom ’07 also are consultants at the firm. PharmaStrat thanks both Diane Husic, professor and chair of biology, and Sylvia Doyle, director of corporate and donor relations, for their time and support on this project. –Scott Heydt ’02
