Mary Barna, this year’s recipient of the Dean Sciarrone Student
Award, credits her greatest influence to her pharmacist father. Starting at the young age of 8, Mary often accompanied her Rutgers
Graduate Class of ’73 dad to annual NJSHP meetings where she would informally chat with pharmaceutical sales representatives. Her father’s enthusiasm caught on in molding Mary to be a serious future pharmacy professional. As an active
leader in Rho Chi, Phi Lambda Sigma and Alpha Zeta Omega, Mary also enjoys her oncology
and infectious disease courses. She is setting her goals to apply for a residency and plans to join a hospital as a clinical specialist. This award holds personal relevance for her as she notes that Dean Sciarrone was one of her father’s professors.
