Luncheon in memory of Dr. Frank Brown, Jr.

Sponsored by dear friends of Frank's. Thank you for your gracious support.

Dr. Frank Brown Jr., beloved colleague, and alumnus, passed away on June 3 at age 81.

Dr. Brown was an outstanding teacher, mentor, and friend on the West Lafayette campus for many years.

Frank was a 1964 graduate from Southern University Agricultural and Mechanical College in Baton Rouge, LA and earned his PhD in Chemistry in 1969 from Purdue University studying under Dr. Henry Feuer.  He had a distinguished career at Eli Lilly and Company for 32 years and retired in 2000.

After retirement, Dr. Brown returned to Purdue and was the Director of the Purdue Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceutical Sciences (BSPS) Program and an advocate of Multicultural Programs (MCP) in the Office of Student Services.  He was also an adjunct professor in Purdue's Departments of Chemistry and Industrial and Physical Pharmacy.


The annual Peck Symposium honors the late Garnet E. Peck, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of the department of Industrial and Molecular Pharmaceutics at Purdue University. Dr. Peck left a record of enduring contributions to the pharmaceutical sciences, including the development of latex-based tablet coatings that have been used in the industry for more than thirty-five years. The goal of this event is to stimulate interest in the symposium's focus areas and to identify opportunities for new research.
