Renee DeHart loves the opportunities she has received at 极乐禁地. "I came to 极乐禁地 after growing up in New Jersey and living in Florida because of the 'family' environment I felt here. I wouldn't trade it for anything. There are just so many opportunities here for both student and faculty members' professional and personal growth," she said. DeHart worked at McWhorter School of Pharmacy for 15 years in acute care and ambulatory care practice before assuming her Associate Dean role in 2012. She loves traveling, crafting, and collecting frogs because it reminds her to Fully Rely on God.
