Why we love SNPhA
“I originally joined SNPhA because of their mission to serve the underserved. But what makes SNPhA so special are my fellow members and leaders. Their commitment to others, creative ways of reaching the community and the support system they provide one another inspire me daily. I love my SNPhAm and I can’t wait to see how the organization grows this year!” - Ashley Buige (PY3)
“SNPhA has a diverse group of students and preceptors who work together to serve an even more diverse population in the community. Volunteering is easy to do when when you get to see the smiles on everyone’s faces as students, pharmacists, and patients of all different backgrounds work together toward a common goal of living a healthier life. SNPhAm is the best fam!” - Shengmei Yin (PY3), SNPhA Vice President
“I joined SNPhA because I immediately sensed the family environment that older members talk about. I am most fulfilled when volunteering for SNPhA because its mission aligns with my personal mission and it feels great to educated and improve the health of your local community. I hope you’ll feel at home in our SNPhAmily!” - Alicia Scott (PY3), 2017-2018 Chapter Treasurer
“Being a member of SNPhA has been one of my greatest experiences in pharmacy school. I’ve grown so much professionally, and I’ve developed amazing professional networks. SNPhA helped me identify my passions and really understand what it means to serve. Most importantly I’ve developed friendships with students from all over the country. SNPhA is my second family.” - Alyssa Morgan (PY4), National Corresponding Secretary
“I fell in love with SNPhA because to be a member of SNPhA is to be family. I know that my SNPhAm will encourage me, support m, and make sure I am the very best me that I can possibly be. In addition, our members have won scholarships every year and placed in our regional or national conference clinical skills competition and you know what that means FREE MONEY! I don't have just a memorable moment with SNPhA it's been a journey. From serving on the national board, traveling across the country to meet other members serving our same mission, my experience with SNPhA is unparalleled in pharmacy school and where I found my home.” - Chelsea Sumner (PY4), 2017-2018 Region I Facilitator
“SNPhA truly gave me a platform to maximize my leadership potential while serving others.
