Doctoral student Jasmine Talameh, PharmD, has received the Boka W. Hadzija Award for Distinguished University Service by a Graduate or Professional Student from the Graduate School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The Graduate School recognized Talameh for her “impressive research, teaching, leadership, and community-outreach achievements,” says Leslie Lerea, the Graduate School’s associate dean for student affairs, who presented the award to Talameh at the Graduate Student Recognition Celebration on April 4.
Talameh entered the PhD program at the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy in 2008 after receiving her doctor of pharmacy from the University of Pittsburgh. She is a first author on five publications during her time at the School. She has received several research grants from the National Institutes of Health and the American Foundation for Pharmaceutical Education, and her research in the field of heart disease and heart failure has been recognized by the American College of Cardiology.
On the teaching front, Talameh serves as a teaching assistant and volunteers to facilitate case discussions on a variety of therapeutic areas for her student peers. She has been named a “Super Teaching Assistant” by the School for her strong teaching performance.
Talameh is also an elected senator representative of the pharmaceutical sciences for the UNC Graduate and Professional Student Federation, as well as the lead graduate student recruitment ambassador for the School. She has also volunteered with the IFC homeless shelter clinic in Chapel Hill and TABLE, a nonprofit hunger-relief organization.
