One-Day Pharmacy VIP Day and Three-Day Summer Pharmacy Camp
Do you have a student interested in exploring pharmacy as a possible career? The University of Findlay is offering two experiences which could help students make more informed decisions about a career in pharmacy.
First, students could attend the one-day Pharmacy VIP day on March 24 to learn about UF's pharmacy program, tour the facilities, meet the faculty, etc. Students interested in attending this event should e-mail bbratt@vbschools.net to take the first step toward attending.
Second, students could attend the three-day Pharmacy Summer Camp from June 21-23 or June 26-28. This camp will provide many opportunities for hands-on activities and a more complete picture of how a pharmacy career could look. This opportunity is only available to current sophomores and juniors, and there is a limit of 50 students for each camp. Interested students can sign up now to save $50 and only pay $350 for the camp (usually $400).
