In April 2020, Dr. Pieper, president and professor of University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis, announced he would retire in June 2021, following 11 years as president of the University and a 41-year career in academic pharmacy.
Through his innovative ideas, the University propelled to new heights and aspirations. As this decade-long chapter nears its end, and we prepare to say goodbye, we marvel at the collective accomplishments of our University community and the vision and leadership that brought us here.
As the University’s fourth president, John A. Pieper came in as a force for change and innovation, and his lasting impact will forever be remembered.
