Student Support and Wellbeing Resources
The College of Pharmacy’s Office of Student Affairs seeks to ensure that students enrolled in all College programs (PharmD, MS or PhD in BPSCI and MSCP) have access to support and applicable resources to help students towards their respective academic and personal goals. Faculty, staff, administrators and community resources work together to provide support and guidance for students and help connect students with resources and opportunities to promote overall wellbeing and success.
