The University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) has awarded R.F. “Rick” Shangraw Jr., PhD, MPA, president of Cintana Education, an honorary Doctor of Sciences in recognition of his involvement with and advocacy to advance pharmacy education, research, and practice.
Shangraw, who was born and raised in Baltimore, is the son of the late Ralph F. Shangraw, a former department chair and professor emeritus of pharmaceutics at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy (UMSOP). The Ralph F. Shangraw/Noxell Endowed Chair in Industrial Pharmacy and Pharmaceutics was established at the School in 1995 in honor of his retirement. The younger Shangraw has maintained strong ties with the School, which nominated Rick for the honorary degree, ever since.
