Pharmacy Appreciation Month


Every year during March the Undergraduate Pharmacy Society (UPS) and CAPSI bring students a variety of events and activities to support PAM. Most importantly, we create opportunities for students to advocate for the pharmacy profession both on campus and in the community. For instance, pharmacy students would visit public schools and community pharmacies to teach students and/or the public about specific topics.
