Now, they’re proud graduates of the University of Michigan College of Pharmacy – many of which are preparing to start their careers, a higher degree, or another professional program.
On May 3, family, friends and champions of the BSPS Class of 2024 gathered to celebrate this achievement during a Commencement Ceremony. If you weren’t able to join us or tune in via live stream, we invite you to watch the ceremony below featuring remarks from:
- Vicki Ellingrod, Dean and John Gideon Searle Professor of Pharmacy
