Michael S. Wolf ’76 presented the 2008 Joseph B. Sprowls Lecture on Wednesday, April 9th. His topic was “Impacting on Our Communities: Pharmacists Making a Difference.” The lecture was attended by faculty, friends, alumni and students.

Prior to the lecture, a tour of the school was conducted and a luncheon honoring Michael's accomplishiments was held afterwards.

Dr Michael S. Wolf, pharmacist, attorney, specialist in forensic medicine, teacher, and activist, has been selected to be the 2008 Sprowls Lecturer on April 9th at Noon in Room 110. His topic will be: “Impacting on Our Communities- Pharmacists Making a Difference”. All alumni are invited to attend.

In addition to a BS in pharmacy, Dr. Wolf holds three doctorate degrees--a PhD in Pharmaceutics from Temple University, a doctorate in pharmacy from Broadmore University and a law degree from Concord Law School.

He is the director of pharmacy operations at Wald Drugs in Raritan Township and Flemington, NJ, and Director of Forensic Counseling Services, a consultant firm providing legal personnel with technical pharmacy input in alcohol and substance abuse-related cases. His pharmaceutics background has qualified him as an expert witness for more than 500 cases over the past 20 years.

Dr. Wolf’s health law background enables him to serve as an expert on the new “Medicare D” program and he volunteers with a number of senior citizen groups as a consultant for this new and complicated program. He is also very involved with the Hunterdon County Medication Access Partnership, a grass roots organization that partners with faith-based groups to identify people who fall through the cracks with respect to obtaining medication.

Another one of Dr. Wolf’s passions is working with pharmacy students. He is a consummate ambassador for education, serves as a preceptor to pharmacy students and instructor at the School of Pharmacy in the elective class, Pharmaceutical Care & Ambulatory Practice.

Michael’s wife, Carol ‘77 is also a Temple School of Pharmacy grad. They reside in Flemington, New Jersey. They have two children, Lisa (URI, ’01) and Adam (RPI ’04, M.S., Temple ’06). When Dr. Wolf is not in the pharmacy, in court, class, or volunteering in the community, he enjoys relaxing with his family and playing bass and low brass with a number of local bands.
