In brief
New beginnings for Steve Marty
Adjunct Associate Professor Steve Marty recently stepped down as chair of the Faculty
of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Foundation (formerly the Victorian College
of Pharmacy Foundation).
Steve joined the board in 2011, taking the reins
from the founding chair of the foundation, Alistair
Lloyd, in 2013. Under his leadership, the foundation
raised more than $3.5 million in philanthropic funds,
primarily in support of the Alistair Lloyd Scholarship
for Excellence and Leadership, and the Inhaled
Oxytocin Project.
Professor Bill Charman acknowledged Steve’s
leadership and long association with the faculty,
and thanked him for his contribution.
“Over the course of a long and distinguished
career, Steve has made an outstanding
contribution to our profession, our faculty and
the foundation. His talent, commitment and
expertise have helped shape the professional
landscape of pharmacy through governance,
education and his philanthropic involvement.
I thank him for his leadership and his work as
chair of the foundation, and congratulate him
on some outstanding results,” he said.

of departing board members for their service
and contribution to the foundation’s success.
“Since its inception in 2001, the foundation has
raised over $13 million to support the education
and research initiatives of the faculty. We owe
much of this success to the commitment of our
board Y[X
