Mading Society Welcomes 5 

2014 Inductees Include Father and Daughter, Former State Representative, UHCOP Department Chair and Pharmaceutical Company 

UH College of Pharmacy Dean F. Lamar Pritchard announced the induction of five new members into the college's Mading Society of benefactors during the society's 2014 Dinner & Induction Oct. 24 at The Bell Tower on 34th Street in Houston.

The 2014 inductees were:     

• Edward Marshall Clouser, R.Ph. ('66), community pharmacist with Brookshire Brothers Pharmacy in Madisonville and Buffalo, Texas;
• The Honorable Charles L. "Chuck" Hopson, R.Ph. ('65), former Texas State Representative for District 11, UHCOP Dean's Advisory Council member, and director of Pharmacy Policy for Superior HealthPlan; 
• Douglas C. Eikenburg, Ph.D., associate professor and chair of the Department of Pharmacological & Pharmaceutical Sciences at UHCOP;
• Katherine Clouser Hunt, Pharm.D. ('12), executive team leader pharmacist at Target Pharmacy in League City and the society's youngest inductee; and
• Invion Limited, an Australia-based pharmaceutical drug development company focusing on therapeutics for inflammatory diseases.     

"Without the support of our alumni, faculty and staff as well as our corporate and foundation partners, the college would not be able to fulfill its mission to provide a first-class education to the next generation of pharmacists and researchers and maintain the reputation that our alumni, faculty, students and preceptors have worked so hard to establish," Pritchard said.

The Mading Society was established in 1997 by UH College of Pharmacy to recognize individual donors who have made gifts or bequests of $10,000 or more to the college. In 1998, membership privileges were extended to corporations and foundations that contribute $25,000 or more in cumulative gifts to the college.

The society was named in memory of Cora and Webb Mading, the first major benefactors of the college. Upon the death of Mr. Mading in 1953, the college was bequeathed $20,000 to establish an endowment for students.
