B. DeeAnn Dugan came to Samford University in 2008 to further her professional growth but has found she discovered so much more.

Dugan has served multiple professional organizations, including APhA, ACCP, AACP, APA, and ALSHP, in various roles such as committee member, committee chair, and delegate.
