Chapter Information
The AAPS-University of Buffalo (UB) Student Chapter is comprised of undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral fellows at UB State University of New York. Formed in the summer of 1998, the mission of the chapter is to introduce students to the benefits of AAPS membership, to examine contemporary issues related to pharmaceutical research through seminars and symposia, and to increase awareness and prepare students for the various employment opportunities that exist in the pharmaceutical sciences.
Proposed Activities
2006-2007
Due to years of success of previous AAPS-UB luncheons, the student chapter will continue to support this activity. For the upcoming (Fall-Spring) semesters, we have finalized plans for a number of seminar speakers to participate in informal student lunches and ice cream socials. These speakers include prominent members of the academic, industrial, NIH and FDA arenas. We expect that these luncheons will cost approximately $175 - $200 each. The specific dates and times of these events will be determined by the 2006-2007 AAPS-UB Chapter. Remaining funds will be used to hold recruitment events. These events may include picnics, socials and/or information sessions on AAPS membership. Few luncheons with the prominent speakers and upcoming activities are given as follows.
