The Herman O. West Scholarship Program provides academic scholarships to children of West employees who have demonstrated exceptional academic and extracurricular achievement, as well as a commitment to serving the community. Established in 1972, the program honors Herman O. West, the founder of West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. Over the past five years alone, the Foundation has awarded scholarships to 42 students attending 33 different colleges and technical schools. West proudly recognizes talented students from across the U.S., and to date has awarded scholarships to the children of employees from thirteen of its U.S. plants.
The Scholarship Program is an integral part of West’s culture of giving. Not only does the program demonstrate our deep appreciation for our employees, it also enables West to invest in the education of future generations who will better our global community for years to come.
“We take pride in recognizing students who have not only excelled academically, but also have demonstrated leadership potential and a commitment to serving the community,” explains Annette Favorite, Senior Vice President & Chief Human Resources Officer.
West is excited to announce the 2018 recipients of the Herman O. West Scholarship. This year, we awarded a record number of twelve scholarships, including our first scholarship to a trade school as part of our newly expanded eligibility requirements. Out of nearly 50 applications, all scholarship recipients were selected by an independent Scholarship Selection Committee based on the following excellence criteria: character, maturity, leadership, extracurricular activities, motivation, interest and desire, predicted success in college and academic achievement.

Commitment to the safest and most efficient delivery of drug products requires a detailed understanding of the constantly changing regulatory landscape. Recently West presented a webinar series discussing the current regulatory requirements for packaging/delivery components and systems, to support not only customers, but the industry as a whole. Each averaged more than 300 registrants – clearly showing the interest in these areas.
In determining extractables from parenteral drug packaging systems, the FDA is clearly looking for appropriate choices of solvents, times, temperatures and other conditions that could impact the results of studies. The outcome of the studies should support the intended purpose – to allow for practical correlations and design of leachables studies.

Cell-based therapies are a unique solution to a variety of health issues, and can make an undeniable impact on a person’s life. But with this unique solution comes several challenges, including packaging issues associated with cryogenic storage, inspection, and extraction of the drug product. Selecting the right packaging for the cell line can mitigate risks of breakage and cell death, enhance your ability to conduct crucial stability and integrity testing, and enable ease of transition during each phase of development.
