Why did you join CAPSI?
If you ask folks about their most memorable pharmacy school experiences, CAPSI often comes up. I strongly echo that sentiment. CAPSI introduced me to incredible friends from across the country. After my first year of pharmacy school, I wanted to give back to the community that made my first year so fantastic, so I ran to be a local CAPSI representative and later, president-elect. Over the last 5 years, CAPSI has allowed me to utilize my acquired knowledge to advocate for students and the profession while also finding ways to create unique out-of-classroom experiences.
