In case you weren’t able to tune in on Saturday (April 27th) a group of 83 students anxiously woke up as PharmD candidates and went to bed as Doctors of Pharmacy. We were so proud to celebrate our PharmD grads and the Commencement Ceremony wasn’t short on proud parents, family members, friends and champions, and certainly had its fair share of selfies, hugs, tears of joy, and big smiles.
We invite you to watch the ceremony below, featuring remarks from:
- Vicki Ellingrod, Dean and John Gideon Searle Professor of Pharmacy
- Paul W. Abramowitz, PharmD, ScD (Hon), FASHP, Chief Executive Officer, ASHP
- E.J. Marineau, PharmD ‘24, Class Representative
- Dr. Alexandra Lin, PharmD ‘11, Alumni Remarks
