Message from the Dean

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to our alumni, faculty, friends, students, and staff for your incredible support of Rocket Forward Day of Giving. Your generosity helps advance our mission, strengthens our programs, and provides vital resources that directly impact our students’ success. We are grateful for your commitment to our college.

Recently, I had the opportunity to attend the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) Interim Meeting. It was inspiring to learn about the innovative programs and best practices happening at colleges of pharmacy across the nation. I am thrilled to bring these ideas back to our college as we continue to grow and advance our programs to better serve our students and the community.


I am also excited to announce that registration is now open for both our Cosmetic Science and Formulation Design Summer Camp and Pharmacy and Science Career Camp! These programs offer unique, hands-on experiences that allow students to explore their passions in pharmacy and cosmetic science. I would be most appreciative if you could spread the word throughout your networks!  Spots are limited, so we encourage interested students to register soon and join us for a summer of learning, discovery, and fun. These camps directly help our enrollment.  Here is a link to learn more and to register for the camps. Pharmacy Summer Camp.
 

Thanks again for being such an essential part of our college community! Your support and enthusiasm fuels what we do. Together, we are shaping the future of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences—one student, one opportunity at a time!

Pam Heaton, Dean
