The HCPC's Compliance Package of the Year competition has recognized the most innovative pharmaceutical packages designed to improve patient adherence since 1995. In 2015, the organization’s 25th anniversary, the HCPC is launching a corresponding student competition to recognize innovative pharmaceutical packaging designs from undergraduate or graduate students of pharmaceutical and/or packaging schools that assists patients in taking their medication as prescribed.
To participate in the competition, the pharmaceutical package design must:
1) be in a compliance-prompting format with at least one patient adherence enhancing feature
2) not require pharmaceutical to be "re-packaged" by patients
3) be in a child-resistant format, if intended for home use, per Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) guidelines
4) practical to manufacture with industry available technology or readily adaptable technology
5) be U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and CPSC compliant
For pharmaceutical packaging industry examples, the HCPC recommends that students visit the HCPC website, www.hcpconline.org and visit the Compliance Packaging Catalogue and previous HCPC Compliance Package of the Year winner announcement pages.
For complete information and guidelines, contact Robin Snyder or Jim Leary.

Professional development seminar 9/20 "Engineering Futures"
A free professional development workshop will be held on September 20, 2015 from 1pm-5pm (appx. end time) and is open to all students! The program, termed "Engineering Futures," was founded more than 20 years ago in response to a need to provide engineering students training in the "soft skills," those non-technical skills necessary for success in the workplace but rarely included in engineering curricula.
In this program, Tau Beta Pi brings in established and certified professionals to facilitate the workshops. Four of the five modules are the same as those purchased by companies across the nation to train their employees. UF's chapter holds five different sessions during the calendar year. If a student completes all five workshops, he or she receives a certificate of completion, a distinguishable mark on a resume and in practice.
The September workshop is titled "People Skills" and the aim is to equip students with the skills needed to interact with different people and mediate conflicts.
As always, lunch will be provided! Location: NPB 1220. Please RSVP at the following link: http://uftbp.com/page.php?p=eventRSVP
If you have any questions, feel free to contact Celeste Rousseau at celesseau@ufl.edu

UF ABE Alumna Crowdfunding a Solution for Clean Drinking Water
Erica Wallace Gonzaga (B.S. in Biological Engineering, 2011) is seeking to tackle a major humanitarian problem: the lack of access to clean drinking water. Every day nearly 2,000 children die from waterborne illnesses due to lack of clean water and proper sanitation1. One in nine people lack access to a clean water source2, mostly in developing countries. Erica founded aqUV in 2014 with two other Gator Engineers, Daniel Blood (Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, 2014) and Rob Damitz (Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, 2015) to address this global issue. Their mission is to provide clean drinking water across the globe with simple and sustainable solutions.
The trio first conceived their solution for clean water in a University of Florida classroom. The aqUV water purification system uses ultraviolet light treatment to kill over 99.99% of bacteria and over 99.9% of viruses in 3 to 5 minutes. aqUV purifiers can be powered entirely by sunlight/solar energy eliminating the need for grid power or replacement batteries. The purifiers are also reusable eliminating the need for expensive replacement parts or filters.
aqUV is now launching a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter to make their invention a reality. Their campaign launched September 14 and runs until October 28. Kickstarter is a popular crowdfunding platform where the internet community can pledge financial support to projects in exchange for “rewards” – incentives to be delivered upon meeting the project funding goals. aqUV is seeking to raise $50,000 to purchase equipment to manufacture aqUV purifiers. They are offering rewards ranging from the first production run of aqUV purifiers to stickers and t-‐shirts. Project backers can also choose to directly donate a purifier to someone in need.
aqUV has pledged to donate one purifier to someone in need for every three purifiers ordered on Kickstarter. The first purifiers will be donated to aqUV’s partner organizations in Haiti. Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere, and over 4 million Haitians lack clean drinking water.
Accessing clean water is a challenge in many regions around the world. aqUV is striving to provide thousands in need around the globe with a reliable and sustainable water purification method. Those interested in supporting the project or finding more information can visit the Kickstarter page or aqUV’s website www.aqUV.org.

• Strategy & Competitiveness;
• Strategic and marketing aspects of conquering markets in low incoming countries;
• Current Economic Scenario of Brazil and other emerging countries;
• Industrial and Consumer Markets;
• Foreign Trade and Direct Investment; and
• Logistics and structure.
