After nearly 35 years of service in academia, Mary<\/span> Gutierrez<\/span> will retire in December 2025, concluding a career marked by expertise and a commitment to advancing pharmacy. A nationally recognized authority in psychiatric pharmacy, Gutierrez<\/span> has long been board-certified by the Board of Pharmaceutical Specialties and has contributed to the evolving practices of mental health care.<\/p>\n

Guiterrez earned her Bachelor of Science from Pepperdine University and her Doctor of Pharmacy from the University of Southern California, where she also completed her residency and fellowship training in psychiatric practice.<\/p>\n

Joining Chapman University in November 2014, Gutierrez<\/span> taught each of our graduating Doctor of Pharmacy cohorts. Known affectionately as \u201cDr. G\u201d by her students, she was voted Teacher of the Year by Pharm.D. candidates in both 2018 and 2022. Prior to CUSP, Gutierrez<\/span> held faculty appointments at Loma Linda University School of Pharmacy and the University of Southern California School of Pharmacy, where she was also recognized for her excellence in teaching and mentorship.<\/p>\n

Her scholarly contributions include several dimensions of psychiatric practice, including numerous textbook chapters and peer-reviewed publications addressing mood disorders, drug-induced sexual dysfunction, and suicide prevention. Her particular advocacy for suicide prevention and holistic well-being has influenced interdisciplinary mental health initiatives at Chapman University, leaving a lasting impact on both our students and the Rinker Health Sciences campus.<\/p>\n

As Gutierrez<\/span> prepares to close this chapter, Chapman University extends our deepest appreciation for her service, scholarship, and mentorship. She will be greatly missed, but her impact will be reflected in the students she mentored and colleagues she inspired for decades to come.<\/p>\n
