  Dr.
Steven Strauss, professor emeritus of pharmacy administration, is
a widely published authority in his field. He started on the path
to eminence at Long Island University’s Brooklyn College of
Pharmacy, where he earned both his B.S. in pharmacy and his M.S.
in pharmacy administration. Dr. Strauss emphatically states, “I
could not have accomplished what I have without my association with
the school.” He went on to receive a Ph.D. from the University
of Pittsburgh.
His connection with the University grew stronger when he joined
the faculty as an assistant professor of pharmacy administration
in 1966, eventually becoming director of the Division of Pharmacy
Administration and director of the Retail Drug Institute. During
his tenure, Dr. Strauss created the Master of Science program in
drug regulatory affairs, established the Steven Strauss Pharmacy
Law Award and created the annual United States-Caribbean Nations
Pharmaceutical Conference. He retired in 1998.
A prolific author and editor, his published works include books
and articles aimed at various audiences including students and the
general public as well as the scientific community. Among his editorial
distinctions, Dr. Strauss was the founding editor of U.S. Pharmacist,
a consulting editor of American Druggist Blue Book, a member of
the editorial advisory board for Clin-Alert and founding publisher
of the International Journal of Pharmaceutical Advances.
In recognition of his vast professional achievements, he has received
distinguished alumnus awards from both of his alma maters and has
earned membership in several pharmaceutical honor societies. He
is an adjunct member of the New York State Board of Pharmacy and
served as founding president of Technomic Publishing Company’s
Pharmaceutical Division.
Dr. Strauss and his wife, Bernice, have three sons. The University
spirit lives on through their son Robert and his wife, Nicole DeSanctis,
both graduates of Southampton College, where Robert is an adjunct
assistant professor.
