Meet the OSPA Team

Dean Lisa Topolski 

I graduated from St. John's University with my Pharm.D. and spent 20 years with CVS Health where I grew as a pharmacist. I have held multi-field leadership roles as a Pharmacy Supervisor and District Manager of 18 stores across Long Island. Patient care has always been my passion and my focus. To be able to impact so many communities within one role was always something that drove me to work hard. I then accepted a position as the Director of Continuing Education at LIU. I was able to use my corporate background to help strengthen our continuing education department by doubling our profits in one year. I am also an Adjunct Professor for the Compounding Lab and am now in a new role as your Interim Assistant Dean of Student Academic and Professional Affairs. This role has been the most rewarding helping students on their path to success! On a personal note, I have a 2-year-old son named Chase who is my world! I also love to be on my boat with my family and enjoy watching sports. My office door is always open if you need anything. I look forward to seeing all of you become successful pharmacists and being part of your journey!
