t’s that time of year again. School is starting and families are slowing getting back to new routines. There is a lot to do in a short period of time and it can be stressful. Believe me, it doesn’t have to be. Here are seven tips to help parents get ready for a new school year. You can do it!

We’ve got this!

on hand. In order to save time and money, gather and organize school supplies.

Check to see if your kids have any unused supplies from last year that can be used this school year. See what needs to be kept, tossed or donated. Ask your kids to help you.

MAKE A MASTER LIST CLEAN OUT CLOSETS AND GO SHOPPING Who doesn’t love a closet purge? Yes, it can take some time, but it can be refreshing to get rid of things and organize.

I always feel better with less stuff around the house. Schedule a day at least a few weeks before school starts to go through your kids’ closets. Take everything out of closets, dressers and storage so you can see what there is to sort through. Ask your kids to help by taking time to try on clothes, shoes and other accessories.

Decide what to keep, repair, and give away to friends and family or donate. When you’re finished, organize clothes, shoes and accessories you plan to keep for each kid. Enlist your kids’ help to reorganize their closets. Reward your kids with a movie night or other special treat for their help in this process.

INVENTORY SCHOOL SUPPLIES I’ve always loved to shop for school supplies. I admit I tend to buy way too much or repurchase what I already have

Keep a list of what you need to buy for each kid. I have a friend who separates the list by kid and what each kid needs. Plan to set a certain amount to spend per kid.

My friend also lets her kids buy something on their wish list (a pair of shoes or an item of clothing) at their favorite store.

This is an extra-special reward for help with organizing closets.

You can also save time and money by purchasing what you can online. When you go shopping at a store, try to go in the morning or early evening, when the stores are less crowded.

SCHEDULE APPOINTMENTS Set aside time to schedule dentist and doctor appointments. It is important to make sure physicals and immunizations are updated for each kid. If your kids are playing sports this school year, make sure to bring sports physical forms to the doctor appointment so they can be completed at the office.

TownePost.com / AUGUST 2022 / NOBLESVILLE MAGAZINE / 7

It’s also a good time to make haircut appointments. A new haircut, even it’s a trim, is a fun experience and a way to boost a kid’s self-confidence.

COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR KIDS ABOUT THE NEW SCHEDULE

A friend of mine uses a family chore chart and reward system displayed in the kitchen with assigned tasks so each kid knows what is expected. This system may not work for everyone, and that’s OK. You will find what works best through trial and error.

If your kids have phones, set up a group text so the family can easily communicate and is aware of changing schedules. Make sure all family numbers and emergency numbers are set up in each kid’s phone. A family I know also recommends sharing a family calendar on Google or another application.

Hold a family meeting and go over the kids’ new schedules for transportation such as bus and school pickup and drop-off, and carpools. Talk with your kids about your expectations for what you would like them to do to get ready for school each day. Think about what each kid is able to do and what is ageCELEBRATE THE NEW appropriate. You might ask your kids to SCHOOL YEAR prepare their own lunches and snacks, and A new school year is a reason for celebration. lay out clothes and backpacks, the night Have a dinner at home or at a restaurant to before. Discuss what will work best for celebrate with the entire family. Congratulate each kid and your family.

your kids on their hard work getting ready for school and thank them for all of their help. Discuss what everyone in the family is looking forward to, and try to ease any nerves your kids might have about a new school year. It is a time to be positive and help to encourage your kids for a successful school year. Think positive.

DON’T STRESS I tend to overthink and worry about what I did not get completed. I try and remind myself that not everything will get done, and that’s OK. No one is perfect. Focus on what absolutely has to be done before school starts. If you do need some help, don’t be afraid to ask friends or family members to pitch in when they can.

HAMILTON COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE CITIZENS ACADEMY Writer / Matt Keating Photography Provided

Deputy Bryan Melton with the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Office says the department’s Citizens Academy has been a success.

“The Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Office takes great pride in the fact that our Citizens Academy is very hands-on,” Melton says.

“We have several opportunities for our attendees to participate in experiences that most of the non-law enforcement community does not get to do.”

Melton notes that during the emergency vehicle operations block of the course, students get behind the wheel of an actual police patrol vehicle.

“We put them through a modified driving course so they can try their hand at some precision driving,” Melton says. “This is not

a high-speed driving course. Accuracy and getting somewhere is more important. I was told by my field-training officer as a young deputy that ‘we cannot drive faster than our guardian angel can fly,’ meaning that we cannot help anyone if we cannot get to where we are needed.”

The academy also has reality-based scenarios.

“The reality-based scenarios are done at the end of the Citizens Academy,” Melton says.

“The scenario exercise gives the students the opportunity to put everything together that they have learned throughout the During the firearms block of the course, course - tactics, observation, de-escalation participants attend a class at the firearms and listening skills - and apply it to the scenarios.

behind why we do the things that we do, the reality of what we do, versus the perception of what we do as law enforcement professionals, and most importantly, transparency and the ability to connect with the community on a professional and personal level,” Melton says.

Melton adds that academy participants have provided positive feedback.

“The graduates of our Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Office Citizens Academy have ultimately become the greatest advocates

“We have several testimonials from our many graduates that speak volumes about the program.”

Melton has also enjoyed working with academy’s alumni.

“We have the greatest Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Office Citizens Academy Alumni Association around,” Melton says. “Without the members of the HCSOCAAA and their

dedication to the program, our Citizens Academy would not run as smoothly as it does. They stay active with us and help with our class sessions, help with the Hamilton County 4-H Fair, testing processes for new hires, the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Office Community Foundation, the Heroes Run, and many more.”

Melton says the department puts on one Citizens Academy session in the spring and one in the fall. Those interested can visit the official Hamilton County website to apply online and see participation requirements.

LOCAL NONPROFIT HELPS TO BATTLE CANINE CANCER TownePost.com / AUGUST 2022 / 13

Writer / Megan Arszman Photographer / Amy Payne

If there’s a furry animal somewhere nearby, you can almost guarantee that Samantha McAfee will find it and either try to feed it or give it some love. There’s a reason why she grew up with the name Snow White, and it’s because of her deeply ingrained love for all animals - wild and domesticated. It’s because of that love that she started her foundation to help dog owners battle canine cancer.

their children, and Valerie is a lot like her firstborn. The couple spent their honeymoon trying to think of what they could do to help other dogs battling cancer like Valerie.

“Being an animal lover, I was first thinking of how I could help the animals, but then I got to thinking - why can’t I help the person too?” McAfee says. “I needed to be able to do both.”

To McAfee and her husband, former Indianapolis Colts punter and multimedia mogul Pat McAfee, their seven animals are

“We’ve heard a lot of stories from owners saying they had to pick up second jobs or work overtime to be able to afford treatment for their dogs, so to know that we’re able to help them be home more with their dog to enable the healing process is huge for me,” McAfee says.

If an owner is looking for assistance from Fur The Brand, they start with an application process available on the official website. Applicants must fill out the form and a veterinarian authorization form that allows the foundation team to speak with all treating veterinarians to discuss the dog’s illness. Photos of the dog and a treatment estimation are also requested for the next step. After discussing the dog’s health and the honest chances of the dog pulling through, Fur The Brand’s team, which At the height of the COVID pandemic in consists of Bridget Davis, Brandy Allen2020, McAfee went to work learning all Harveth and Rachel Hickey, then reviews about running a foundation and how to start the month’s budget and decides how to best fundraising. While the National Canine spend that money.

McAfee is planning on one more big fundraiser this year, a gala in November, which happens to be National Pet Cancer Awareness Month.

Funding for the foundation comes mostly from donations accepted via the website’s PayPal link. Fur The Brand was able to host one formal fundraiser early in its inception called “Dinner for the Dogs,” which was a four-course meal with cocktail pairings.

Currently, Fur The Brand merchandise is available on the official website, with proceeds going towards the foundation.

McAfee is working on a sponsorship program in hopes that local and even national groups will work with the foundation to help more dogs nationwide.

“We hit the ground running last year, and it’s just been really cool to be able to help dogs and their owners,” McAfee says. “There are hard days. There are multiple times that we’ll get stories and we just sob. At first I wanted to spend all of our money helping everybody I could, but my friends have been able to wrangle me in and help me work on a budget. I still have some learning to do, but this has been very fulfilling.”

of George Floyd had started peacefully, but had eventually taken a violent turn.

Windows were broken, businesses were damaged, cars were set ablaze. Brackett says he knew something needed to be done. He knew someone needed to work towards educating and unifying the community, so he got to work on his book.

In May of 2020, Brackett drove downtown to get a haircut and witnessed firsthand what he’d already seen on social media.

The protests in response to the murder

“30 Days to Diversity” is the culmination of two years of research by Brackett. The book is aimed at the business community, but can be helpful to anyone looking TownePost.com / AUGUST 2022 / 17

to create a more diverse and inclusive environment. The book is 30 chapters divided into Brackett’s CHAMP framework, looking at the current situation and root causes of issues, honing in on desired outcomes, applying principles to eliminate and delegate things that no longer serve a purpose, taking massive action to achieve desired outcomes, and pursuing a championship transformation and chasing the best version of ourselves.

As Brackett points out in the “30 Days

to Diversity” introduction, this is not a book for the faint of heart. It bluntly discusses issues that make some people uncomfortable and that some decry as divisive topics. Issues such as critical race theory, the Black Lives Matter movement, defunding the police, and privilege, have their own chapter in the book. Rather than preaching or lecturing, Brackett calmly breaks down these topics and provides crucial history and context behind them.

Many of these topics, he says, aren’t all that controversial or divisive once one understands their origins and what they’re actually about.

“I wanted to address some of these loaded topics in a way where I can humanize them by sharing some of my stories,” Brackett says in the book. “The whole notion of ‘I’m colorblind and blame it on my innocence,’ I think that’s no longer viable. I think we have to open our eyes to color and see people where they are in regards to their color, in regards to their ethnicity, in

regards to their religions and in regards to their gender. I think all these things are important if we’re going to truly be inclusive.”

Throughout the book, Brackett discusses how his experiences in NFL locker rooms and managing businesses taught him the value of interacting with people of different backgrounds and walks of life. He highlights the value of not just listening to others, but also actually making the effort to hear what they have to say and understand where they are coming form.

Brackett believes that most people want to do the right thing, but he says the media and bad-faith actors are contributing to the divisive atmosphere in our communities. “I think the bad guys are winning in terms of like the trash that we see online, the media, and just some of their triggering comments and things that they do,” he says. “They want us to not get along. They want us to argue and bicker over these things. Being in a community, like I am seeing these companies inside of them, they want to do well. They want to have unity and they want to know how.”

“30 Days to Diversity” is all about the “how.” Brackett isn’t interested in simply highlighting problems - he’s interested in finding solutions. The book is full of daily activities and actionable items to help businesses and people be more diverse and inclusive. Brackett acknowledges that he’s not going to solve centuries of racism and prejudice in 30 days, but he says “30 Days to Diversity” is an important step in the right direction.

“I think we got to try,” he says. “We got to make an attempt. I think a lot of people won’t change, and will still feel how they feel and think how they think, but a lot of people will. I think there are more of the people that will than that won’t.”

PROSTATE CANCER AWARENESS MONTH Dr. Michael Koch Writer / Dr. Michael Koch, urologist at the IU Health Joe & Shelly Schwarz Cancer Center in Carmel

Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men and second leading cause of cancer death in men.

Fortunately, it is among the most treatable cancers. Through annual prostate exams, physicals, and preventative screenings, patients can increase their chance of surviving prostate cancer.

HOW PREVENTATIVE SCREENINGS SAVE LIVES

PREVENTATIVE SCREENINGS YOUR DOCTOR MAY ORDER CAN DETECT THE CANCER A PROSTATE BIOPSY. The biopsy is a clinical procedure that EARLY.

Urologists screen for prostate cancer using the PSA test. PSA is a protein measured by a blood draw. At IU Health, we recommend annual PSA screening between 50 and 70 years of age. PSA was introduced in the 1990s and the rate of death and metastasis from prostate cancer has reduced dramatically since then. PSA screening finds cancer 10 years prior to symptoms but is WHAT IS PROSTATE CANCER? not recommended if life expectancy is less The prostate is a small, walnut-sized than ten years.

The procedure takes ten minutes with an ultrasound-guided biopsy, and twenty minutes for an MRI-guided fusion biopsy. The risks associated with a prostate cancer biopsy is that one in 200 patients will have an infection, and there will also be blood in the urine for two to three days. From the biopsy, the urologist will be able to determine Cancer grade, or Gleason score. This will determine is the patient has low-risk, intermediate-risk or high-risk prostate cancer and will help physicians determine a treatment plan.

KENNY MOORE’S ACCOMPLISHMENTS ON AND OFF THE FIELD REFLECT AN UNYIELDING WORK ETHIC Writer / Ryan Kennedy Photography Provided by the Indianapolis Colts

TownePost.com / AUGUST 2022 / 21

I

ndianapolis Colts fans have known about Kenny Moore’s talent since the team signed the undrafted rookie out of Valdosta State University off of waivers in 2017. In 2021 the defensive back cemented his status as a star player, recording 101 tackles, a sack, four interceptions and a forced fumble. He was one of only two defensive backs to register 100 tackles and at least 10 passes defensed. The fans and the rest of the league took notice and Moore was selected to his first Pro Bowl.

Moore says during the season he’s focused on one thing - doing his job to the best of his ability. He says that as the season progresses, players start thinking more and more about the possibility of making the Pro Bowl.

“This is part of the reason why we play,” he says. “I mean, who wouldn’t want to be known as one of the best at their position?

Yeah, we want to win a Super Bowl. Yeah, we want to win each week. But for us to do that, I have to play great.”

Moore keeps an eye on all of the other defensive backs around the division, tracking their accomplishments, always working towards being the best defensive back in the American Football Conference (AFC). He says it was during a game against the New England Patriots, and the second matchup against the Houston Texans where he recorded his fourth interception of the season and forced a fumble, that Moore knew he was a Pro Bowler.

read Moore’s name off the list of Pro Bowl selections, Moore flashed back to all the hard work, stress and preparation he had put himself through, from college to being an undrafted rookie, all the way through his professional career.

The work Moore puts in to succeed on the field is matched by the work he puts in to help the community around him. Moore was nominated by the Colts for the 2021 Walter Payton Man of the Year award.

Moore is heavily involved in various charities, notably those that help children like the Mighty Mason Fund, A Kid Again, and Hope to Dream.

mentality of being that Division II player, of being unknown, unrecognized - just that hungry feeling. There’s a continuous chip on my shoulder each off-season, preparing for the season.”

With a new defensive coordinator, new defensive coaches and new faces around the locker room, Moore says he’s excited to get back in the Colts complex and prepare

for the new season. He says he took a big step last year, physically, mentally and emotionally. He’s focused on taking another big step this season.

Kenny Moore and the Colts play their first preseason game of the 2022 season on August 13. The Colts are hoping to win the AFC South for the first time since 2014.

Moore has been involved in charity work going all the way back to his days at Valdosta State. He says he doesn’t care how he helps - he just wants to make people in the community feel special and care for them. Being a philanthropist has always been a part of who he is.

“I’m not here to play football,” Moore says. “I don’t think God has put me in this position just to play football and eat, breathe, sleep football. Some people are like that, but I just feel like I’ve always been that kid that had different dimensions about myself - and it’s being a good person. It’s being respectful. It’s being admirable. I just wanted to make a positive impact in the communities that I resided in. Just being here in Indy, I’m just taking it for what it is. I just want to embrace everything about Indy.”

1/2 PAGE (ISLAND)

Indianapolis has embraced Moore and he’s embraced the community. During his time in Indianapolis, Moore has developed a love for racing. He’s set up a racing simulator in his basement and recently took the Colts defensive backs go-kart racing - a race which he won.

Moore also attended the Indianapolis 500.

Selection to the Pro Bowl hasn’t dampened Moore’s hunger to be the best.

Every season is different, but Moore’s preparation is the same. “Proving myself first that I am who I say I am - I am who I believe I am,” he says. “It’s that worker’s TownePost.com / AUGUST 2022 / 23

6th ANNUAL BrewBQ RETURNS AUGUST 20th “We’re excited to formally announce the 6th annual Noblesville BrewBQ to be held on Saturday, August 20th at Federal Hill Commons! This is a fun charitable event that allows the community to come together to support a great cause, while also sharing their love of BBQ and beer,” said Carrie Dixon, President of the Noblesville Rotary Club.

THE PURPOSE This is not just a fun event for the community to enjoy the outdoors and music. Proceeds go to supporting local students who attend Ivy Tech Noblesville Campus with scholarship funds. There are not many scholarships available to students in technical fields of study.

We are passionate about providing opportunities in these fields especially with Noblesville’s focus on economic development. “We are so thankful for our partnership with the Noblesville Rotary and grateful for their support. The BrewBQ is a great event to support their efforts of providing scholarships for local students to attend IVY Tech. We are thankful for the long-standing relationship that the Noblesville Rotary has experienced with IVY Tech and look forward to many continued years,” said Stacy Atkinson, Chancellor for Ivy Tech Hamilton County.

DETAILS The BrewBQ holds a BBQ tasting contest with an opportunity for attendees to taste some of the best BBQ around. The contest will feature an immense array of unique recipes, from BBQ’ers across Noblesville and Indiana alike. Music throughout the evening will be from local bands with returning Headliner- That’s What She Said from 7-9:30PM. Beer will be on tap from several local vendors.

The Bier Brewery will be back this year and has won multiple medals at prestigious brewing competitions, including The Indiana Brewers’ Cup, the Great American Beer Festival, and the World Beer Cup. “Bier Brewery has participated in the BrewBQ for the

past five years and what a great event! The fun, comradery, the community spirit is just so enjoyable. Bier Brewery would not miss this great event.” – Jerry Connor, Bier Brewery. Sun King Brewery is a new and exciting addition for this year as well. For those who enjoy wine, Blackhawk Winery and Vineyard, located in Sheridan, IN will be returning this year. They are a family-owned farm, home to a winery with 10 acres of vineyard. In addition, Spencer Farms Winery from Noblesville will be returning for a second year!

SPONSORSHIPS “The entire Associated Drywall Partner’s crew is proud to support Noblesville Rotary and this year’s BrewBQ event! Great Music, mouthwatering BBQ and craft beer, what could be better on an Indiana summer evening?” said Joe Carnavale with Associated Drywall Partners – Co-Title Sponsor.

The Seventh Annual

RED GERANIUM ARTISAN MARKET A MARKET WITH A MISSION Story & Photography Provided

The First Presbyterian Church of Noblesville will host their seventh annual Red Geranium Artisan Market on Saturday, August 20 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The church is located at 1207 Conner Street. The market features a variety of local, tristate and international artisans, food and live music in a festive, open-air environment.

Seven years ago the church’s mission team decided they wanted to create a fun outreach day for the community that would promote local artists, while generating income for their local, state and international mission projects. The first market was held in 2016 with around 20 excited and eager vendors. Each year the market has grown in size and variety.

Visitors will find 50 different artisan vendor booths located both inside and outside the historical church. The Red Geranium committee juries all the artisans and only selects unique, one-of-a-kind, handmade items to provide a variety of shopping. This includes fine art, antiques, furniture, boutique clothing, children’s clothing and accessories, photography, jewelry, wood, fiber, mosaic and glass crafts, pottery, garden art, repurposed and upcycled unique creations, and more.

This year the market has 35 returning vendors, including a few longtime artisan favorites like Anderson Ironworks & Woodcraft Design, Studio 510, DLC Designs, Gem.Geek and more. Along with the 50 artisan booths, the event will feature live local talent at the music stage throughout the day to entertain you, and several food options so you can snack while you shop. The market is family and pet friendly with no admission fees, and there will be plenty of free parking available at the City Hall parking lot on 10th Street.

Food will be provided by Stacco House

by Mammamia and Samano’s, and there will also be a bake sale featuring goodies made with love from the women of First Presbyterian.

The market is different than most craft shows, and is branded as “A Market With a Mission.” Each of the artisans rent booth space for the day from First Presbyterian to help the church’s mission team raise money for local, state, national and international mission projects they sponsor. New this year will be a special international artisan booth, which will showcase handcrafted items like pysanky eggs made by Ukrainian artist Marina Shepeluk of Zhytomyr, Ukraine, and

handmade bags crafted in Malawi, Africa.

The proceeds from these items will go directly back to the artisans who made them.

Several of the artisan vendors donate all their proceeds to local charitable organizations.

Be sure to look for the heart-shaped signs indicating these special people who serve others through sales of their artwork.

Jim Miles is a local woodworker who makes a wide variety of items including jewelry boxes, sconces, trivets, serving trays and wineglass trays. “Many of my items are made with mixed woods - oak, walnut, maple and ash,” Miles says. “All of the proceeds from the sale of these items go to the La Senda school and orphanage in Guatemala. I donate my time and the cost of all materials.

Every dollar taken in is sent to La Senda.”

“One hundred percent of my profits from sales of MoJoJudo’s handcrafted items are equally divided and then donated to the charities my husband and I support,” adds Judy McDowell. “The 2022 list of charities are Feeding America, Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the Salvation Army, Samaritan’s Purse, and Water Mission.”

First Presbyterian partners with Feeding Team food pantries (feedingteam.org), and will collect donations of nonperishable food items for the food pantry located in their parking lot.

diploma.

“The Governor’s STEM Team consists of four high school seniors from Indiana that are accomplished in science, technology, engineering and math,” Maskew says. “These students are said to already be impacting their communities and have impactful futures ahead of them. I am honored to be a member of the Governor’s STEM Team as the science representative, and be named a top Indiana student in science due to my accomplishments and achievements in my studies.”

“I graduated summa cum laude, as well as with cords, representing my exceptional grades in the PLTW Biomedical Sciences courses and my involvement in National Honor Society,” she says.

Throughout high school, Maskew participated in numerous college-level courses, such as AP chemistry, AP statistics, anatomy and physiology, and Project Lead the Way (PLTW) Biomedical Sciences courses.

“In fifth grade I participated in Hazel Dell Elementary’s annual science fair, where I advanced to the regional competition,” she says. “From then on, I always knew I wanted to study science.”

“In these classes I worked to receive A grades,” Maskew says. “Outside of school I was invited to, and attended, many science camps and conferences that furthered my interest in science. Due to these factors, I was announced as the science representative for the Governor’s STEM Team.”

In seventh grade, Maskew attended a conference designed for young women interested in STEM fields.

Maskew graduated from Noblesville High School on June 7 with an academic honors

From a young age, Maskew’s love for science was evident through her science-fair projects and conference attendance. She has attended several camps, which led to her appreciation of medical careers.

“As I progressed, I was invited to, and attended, a Clinical Applications for future Medical Professionals camp at Purdue University, as well as a Purdue pharmacy health fair,” Maskew says. “I was also invited to, and attended, the Riverview Medical

Explorers camp. Throughout the many camps and conferences I was invited to, and participated in, my love for science grew.

Throughout high school I took many of the science courses, including the PLTW Biomedical Sciences courses.”

Those courses were her favorites.

“They really opened my eyes to the world of science and everything it has to offer, as well as the future of science,” Maskew says.

“These classes allow students to complete college-level lab activities at an earlier age, such as gel electrophoresis, bacterial colonization, polymerase chain reaction, microarray analyses, and ELISA assay tests. I think it is great that more and more women are getting involved in STEM fields, and I am grateful that I get to be a part of this change.”

Maskew interned at a CVS Pharmacy as a pharmacy technician trainee.

“At CVS Pharmacy I was able to learn basic information about a retail pharmacy, as well as see how a typical retail pharmacy is set up and organized,” she says. “I was also able to fill prescriptions by counting pills or pouring liquids. This was a great experience and a perfect introduction to my future in pharmaceutical sciences.”

Maskew has also conducted research in a PLTW Biomedical Innovations course, studying the effects of sugar concentration on the growth of gram-negative E. coli bacteria.

“We did this by growing gram-negative E. coli bacteria on agar solutions with different sugar molarities,” she says. “Calculations were completed for each agar.”

Maskew and her team then streaked the E. coli bacteria on each plate of agar and incubated the petri dishes.

“After 24 hours, and then 48 hours, we

observed the petri dishes and recorded our results,” Maskew says. “My PLTW Medical Interventions and PLTW Biomedical Innovations teacher, Caitlyn Foye, was a great help and influence on our research project, and was very encouraging.”

Maskew is looking forward to a career in science.

“In the fall I will be attending Purdue University to study pharmaceutical sciences,” she says. “Purdue University is ranked in the top-10 pharmacy programs in the nation. I have been admitted to the pre-pharmacy learning community, where I will live in a residence hall filled with other freshman studying pre-pharmacy. I also hope to join many of the pharmacy-related clubs that Purdue University has to offer. I hope to undergo Purdue’s six-year program, meaning after six years I will have obtained a doctorate of pharmacy. As of now I intend on focusing on research pharmacy.”
