College Celebrates PhD Candidates
March 4, 2022
With the 2020 Advance to Candidacy ceremony postponed, the College recognized both those who earned candidacy in 2020 and 2021 in a joint ceremony. Thirty-seven students from the Pharmaceutical Sciences, Medicinal Chemistry, and Clinical Pharmacy departments were celebrated for their academic achievement.
Reaching candidacy is an important milestone and accomplishment, signifying that a student has completed their coursework and other requirements of their graduate program. When a student reaches candidacy, they will move on to the research phase of their academic program. Candidates will begin to hone their research skills and develop their research interests, joining a community of researchers at the University of Michigan. The depth and breadth of the Michigan research community provides a wide range of learning opportunities and support for Pharmacy PhD candidates, as does the extensive Michigan Pharmacy alumni network.
Vicki Ellingrod, PharmD, Senior Associate Dean and John Gideon Searle Professor of Pharmacy, College of Pharmacy, welcomed attendees to the event. Anna Mapp, PhD, Associate Dean, Academic Programs and Initiatives, U-M Rackham Graduate School offered her congratulations to the students, their mentors, and guests in attendance.
