Purpose
The Alumni Association of the School of Pharmacy exists to
promote a continuing alumni interest in the School and its
students by supporting its aims, ideas and purpose. It helps
with fundraising, participates in and organizes programs,
lectures, and awards. It works with the School’s administration
to coordinate alumni and student activities such as reunions, CE
programs and meetings. The Association not only supports the
School, it keeps classmates in touch.
Activities
The Association maintains an active presence with its alumni and
students. Realizing that students become alumni, one of the
primary goals of the Association is to encourage student
interest and awareness of the Association before they graduate.
Throughout the year, the Association Officers meet with students
from each class year, to introduce the Association and its
mission. Students are invited to attend the Association meetings
and to interact with its members. Officers distribute School
recognition items to students, support their activities which
include fundraising and networking for special projects
throughout the year. The Association initiated and sponsors The
Student Health Care Professional Award for a third-year student
in recognition of academic achievements and leadership
qualities. Another goal of the Association is to bring alumni
back to the School, to encourage interest in current activities
and to increase alumni financial support. The Association
sponsors the
Sprowls’ Lecture and nominates recipients for the Certificate of
Honor and The Distinguished Pharmacist Practitioner Award. These
awards honor distinguished colleagues and instill pride in our
alumni. Officers represent the School at national professional
meetings, attend graduation and School events. The Association
maintains a strong relationship with the School and promotes
awareness of its activities beyond its classrooms.
