The School of Pharmacy recognized its inaugural Class of 2014 at a White Coat Ceremony on August 12 in The Bruyette Athenaeum. The ceremony welcomed students as colleagues in the advanced study of Pharmacy. A white coat, which symbolizes professionalism and commitment to patient care, was presented to each incoming School of Pharmacy student by a member of the faculty. After receiving their coats, the Class of 2014 recited in unison the Pharmacy Student Oath, which stresses the importance of professionalism, ethics, and values. A reception following the ceremony was generously sponsored by Walmart.
The School has been actively involved in community outreach including The Hartford Area Habitat for Humanity’s 18th Annual Build-A-Thon, where Pharmacy faculty volunteered on the construction of a home in Hartford (pictured left). Additional community health initiatives include the Heart of Hartford Make the Call, Don’t Miss A Beat campaign, which targeted Hartford women age 55 years and older on heart health. School of Pharmacy faculty and students also participated in the Script Your Future campaign – read more.
