Dr. Strobel joined Husson University School of Pharmacy in July, 2011. Allison graduated from the University of Nebraska at Omaha in May, 2005 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry. Following graduation, Dr. Strobel attended Creighton University School of Pharmacy and Health Professions and received her Doctor of Pharmacy degree in May, 2010. During her academic studies at Creighton University, the strong philosophy of strong moral values and service to others instilled and inspired her to seek a career in both clinical pharmacy and the education of future pharmacists.
Upon graduation, Dr. Strobel completed a one year Community Pharmacy Practice Residency through the University of Iowa College of Pharmacy. Her practice setting was an independent community pharmacy in Davenport, Iowa, and during her residency year, was responsible for maintenance of daily operations in the clinic, including scheduling, patient visits, and as a preceptor for fourth year student pharmacists. Allison’s residency project was the development and implementation of a Pharmacist Directed Travel Health Clinic in an Independent Community Pharmacy which gave her experience in creating Physician Directed Collaborative Practice Agreements, marketing, patient education, and vaccine screening. Allison also received a teaching certificate at the completion of her residency year.
Outside of work, Allison enjoys most all outdoor activities including snowboarding, hiking, and photography. She also has a strong passion for her Pharmaceutical Fraternity, Kappa Psi, and has been actively involved at the local and national levels.
I feel the most important aspect of pharmacy is the compassionate and caring service to others. Husson University School of Pharmacy has afforded me the opportunity to become a compassionate, approachable, and influential faculty member, developing students as individuals both in their practice and personal lives and providing a high standard of care to the patients in the Bangor community in a knowledgeable, caring, and thoughtful manner. I look forward to the future, being able to work with innovative and inventive professionals who have a strong passion to educate the best pharmacists possible.
Tippet, Sara, Pharm.D.
Assistant Professor of Pharmacy Practice, School of Pharmacy
Dr. Sara Tippet joined the staff at Husson University in August of 2011. She graduated with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan. She then went on to complete a general practice residency within the Veteran’s Affairs health care system. While on residency, she worked with students from a variety of pharmacy schools who were completing rotations in the hospital. She also had the opportunity to spend time in the classroom as part of the teaching certificate program at Concordia University Wisconsin School of Pharmacy.
Sara is joined in Maine by her husband. They enjoy exploring the multitude of outdoor activities Maine has to offer. Sara also enjoys reading in her spare time and spending time with her family back in Michigan.
Learning is a continuous process that may start in the classroom but must be applied and expanded upon in practice. I hope to instill in my students the skills necessary to facilitate their own learning so that they can develop their individual practice style and advance pharmacy throughout Maine after graduation.

I have always enjoyed education and learning, probably because I have been fortunate enough to have great teachers. I want to be the best example that I can be to my students and teach as effectively as possible in order to prepare the next generation of pharmacists to be equipped with the skills to interact and educate patients. I want to impart my joy for learning to my students so that they can continue to seek knowledge long into their careers.
