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!
