Student Exchange
Ms. Crisalda Ferrús I’m from Spain “Hola!! My name is Crisalda Ferrús, I’m a pharmacy student taking my 5th (and finally!) last year of college. I belong to FEEF-Spain (Spanish Pharmaceutical Students’ Federation) which represents over twenty thousand pharmacy students in the country. In December 2013 I was appointed as Vice-president of Mobility assuming the role of Student Exchange Officer (SEO) for IPSF. I have no words to describe what this year has been to me, of course there were moments where I just wanted to shut down my email account to stop receiving messages from everyone and everywhere, but the whole experience has been very rewarding, working for IPSF has allowed me
to meet amazing people from all over the world and feeling that you are helping other students to develop their professional career has no price! That is why that after attending the World Congress in Porto and being able to meet in person all these people with whom I exchanged so many emails, after truly feeling the IPSF spirit, I discovered that I would like to put something more from myself to keep improving IPSF and more specifically, the Student Exchange Programme to which I dedicated so many hours... and then I joined the Student Exchange Committee (SEC)! We are a bunch of former SEOs who will be here to help the new ones and do our best to offer the best SEP ever! Feel free to contact any of us :)
Mr. Bang Nguyen Sy I’m from Hungary Hello my name is Bang. I ‘m the SEO of Hungary and now a member of SEC starting this autumn. I was born in Vietnam, but I have been living in Hungary for 17 years now. My hobbies are playing snooker, guitar and doing magic tricks.In the summer of 2013 I did my summer practice in the USA thanks to SEP. It was an unforgettable experience and I wanted to be more involved in this amazing program, so in the autumn of 2013 I became the SEO of our association. During my work as SEO I have met a
lot of amazing people and helped many students to have the opportunity to do their practice abroad. In the summer of 2014 I have attended the IPSF World Congress in Porto and there I decided to apply for SEC. My goal as a SEC member is to help improve this truly unique program by helping my fellow SEOs in their work and coming up with new ideas. It is a great pleasure for me to be part of this excellent team and to know that our work can change so many lives, because together we can make the world a SEPer place! IPSF Newsletter
