Dorinda Segovia, Pharm.D. (’92) Wins STUEY for Alumni of the Year

Dorinda Segovia, Pharm.D. (’92) was awarded the Student Life Achievement Award (STUEY) for Alumni of the Year.

As a vice president at Memorial Healthcare System (MHS), Segovia demonstrates the value of innovation by continuously developing methods to highlight and integrate pharmacists into every facet of patient care.

“My time at NSU was special and unique. I made lifelong friends and had exceptional mentors, who to this day keep up with my professional progress and continue to be influential in my career,” Segovia said.

 In the STUEY nomination from NSU’s College of Pharmacy, peers describe Segovia as student-centered and passionately involved paving the way for future NSU pharmacists.

“I was nurtured academically and professionally by excellent [NSU] faculty and was introduced to pharmacy leadership by the student level involvement opportunities in professional associations,” she said.

As an alumna, Segovia continuously volunteers as a presenter for student organizations, as well as host open houses at MHS for NSU students. She has also served as guest speaker at the college’s White Coat Ceremony.

Segovia has a history of accolades that speak to her commitment to serving our community, including the Jean Lamberti Mentorship Award (2008) from the Florida Pharmacy Association, which is awarded to pharmacists who share their knowledge and experience with pharmacist candidates.

“I take pride in being a servant, giving back to our community by creating awareness about prescription drug abuse, actively engaging in professional associations, and mentoring students and pharmacy residents to instill professional pride and ownership,” Segovia said.
