Lisa T. Grimes, a UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy alumna returned to campus Wednesday, April 18, to share insights from her new book.
Grimes, a 1985 graduate of the School, and her coauthor, fellow UNC-Chapel Hill alumna Paula Brown Stafford, M.P.H., discussed their book, “Remember Who You Are: Achieve Success, Create Balance, Experience Fulfillment,” at the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health.
The book provides insights and encouragement for women looking for career advancement and a high quality of life — knowledge the authors said they wish they’d had as young professionals 30 years ago. The book also advises men on how to improve working relationships with women.
Grimes is the president and CEO of PurThread, an antimicrobial textile company based in North Carolina. Stafford is the chief development officer of the pharmaceutical company Novan.
UNC Chancellor Carol L. Folt, Ph.D., moderated the discussion. Barbara K. Rimer, Ph.D., dean of the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, also shared her reflections at the event. The discussion concluded with a book signing and reception.
