NATIONAL CONSTITUTION CENTER PARTNERSHIP

For the past two years, Cephalon has partnered with the National Constitution Center to sponsor the Cephalon Speaker Series for Science and the Constitution. The goal of the lecture series is to bring nationally recognized speakers to the center to discuss important ways the constitution impacts the life sciences. Topics covered in the series included Regulating the Practice of Medicine, Privacy and New Scientific Knowledge May Conflict in the Future and Funding and Monitoring America’s Health.

This partnership with the National Constitution Center is an important part of our commitment to corporate citizenship – and toward meaningful dialogue about the ways law, community and public policy all serve to shape the future of science and medicine.

Cephalon also is a sponsor of the National Constitution Center’s prestigious Liberty Medal, awarded annually to men and women of courage and conviction who have strived to secure the blessings of liberty to people across the globe.

This year, we congratulate the 2008 Liberty Medal Recipient -- former Soviet leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner Mikhail Gorbachev -- for his courageous role in helping to end the Cold War and giving hope and freedom to millions of people who lived behind the Iron Curtain.

The National Constitution Center is located in historic Philadelphia, Pa., and is the only museum in the country devoted to the U.S. Constitution and the story of we, the people.
