The day’s keynote speaker, Jennifer Adams, Pharm.D., Ed.D., Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at Idaho State University College of Pharmacy, urged the group to, “Take responsibility for change and imagine horizons where pharmacists are empowered to use all of their training and skills.

The student coaters were second-year pharmacy students Mariah Mrofchak, Jason Pol, Mohenad Rasoul and Virginia San Juan, who were nominated by their classmates. Jaclyn Boyle, Pharm.D. (’12) led the group in the Oath of the Pharmacist.

The new class of 99 student pharmacists celebrated this occasion with a reception full of pictures, conversation, and spending time with their friends, family, and new NEOMED community. Welcome, class of 2023!
