We were busy this past week with events almost everyday of the week! Thank you to everyone that took the time to participate, we hope that it was impactful and that you had a good time!

It was great to see so many students come to be certified to give naloxone as you never know when the situation will arise. It was amazing to see the students who were willing to stay after class to get an opportunity to connect with in state pharmacists. Last of all it was wonderful to see professors and students having a great time at the faculty trivia with SAGCP as we learned new and interesting facts about our professors!

🗓️ The next event will be a Ginger Bread Contest that will be hosted by APhA along with SNPhA on 12/4!

What an incredible day serving our Richmond community with our partners at Drug Take-Back Day! 💊

From medication safety education to naloxone demos and health screenings, it was inspiring to see how pharmacy students can make a real impact beyond the classroom. We are so grateful for the opportunity to engage in medication safety conversations with the Richmond community and for everyone who helped make this event possible!

On October 11th, our student pharmacists joined the 2025 Central Virginia Heart Walk to support heart health and raise awareness in our community. 🫀❤️

We are honored to walk alongside the Metzger family, who lost their beloved daughter Abby in 2022. She was in her second year of the Doctor of Pharmacy program at VCU, intent on becoming a community pharmacist specializing in cardiology. Abby was always deeply engaged with the VCU community and made a lasting impact through her involvement in our APhA-ASP chapter as Operation Heart Chair. Her legacy continues to inspire us and lives on in the strong community she helped build. 🤍
