Chapter Information
The AAPS-University of Florida (UF) Student Chapter was founded
in 2002 thanks to the dedication and enthusiasm of its founding
officers, and it has grown stronger each year. After holding
its first meeting of the 2004-2005 academic year, the chapter
was delighted to learn that its membership had almost doubled.
Chapter members continue to spread awareness of AAPS and the
student chapter to UF graduate students and post-docs, and they
plan to concentrate on extending recruitment to students outside
of the college of pharmacy. Already, the chapter’s members come
from vast educational backgrounds, including pharmacy, mathematics
and chemical engineering. The chapter also enjoys participating
in national AAPS activities and appreciates the professional
and academic development opportunities offered by AAPS.
