APhA-ASP/ FSHP Game Night Recap The APhA-ASP/FSHP Game Night was a wonderful event that allowed me to learn more about the clubs, meet a few upperclassmen, and most importantly, get to know my 1PD peers better. Up until that night, the 1PDs had been through orientation, and maybe a class or two. Needless to say, we barely knew each other's names! After that night, I felt a stronger tie within our class as we all began to 'come out of our shell' as we tried to choose the silliest Apples to Apples card! Taylor Schenley 1PD, Gainesville Campus
