Office of Student Affairs Update

The Office of Student Affairs has perhaps never been as active and energized as we were in 2020. Nearly every aspect of our work to support students was modified, from moving to remote admissions interviews to connecting students with separated faculty, peers, and resources to hosting the all-virtual P4 graduation and student-only P1 white coat celebrations. It has been both challenging and rewarding, and I am grateful for the optimism and resilience I’ve seen among student pharmacists. Their strength and dedication are inspiring. It’s truly an honor to be a part of this great profession and College and among such remarkable students. Dr. Brooke Buffat Associate Dean for Student Affairs
