Dr. Satu Somani was one of the original faculty members of the SIU-SOM Department of Pharmacology and a dedicated scientist educator. He loved teaching, often asking for more time to teach additional material he felt important to the student’s medical education. Dr. Somani passed suddenly in 2002. To honor Dr. Somani’s memory, a fund was setup by Mrs. Somani to enable the Department of Pharmacology to annually award an outstanding student of Medical Pharmacology a monetary stipend. In addition a plaque with the recipient’s name hangs outside the departmental office on the 3 rd floor of 801
