Chapter Information
In 1998, graduate students from the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia (USIP)
and Temple University joined together to form the AAPS-Philadelphia Student Chapter.
Due to considerable interest and involvement among chapter members, in 2003, the
two schools split to create separate AAPS Student Chapters. The main goal of the
AAPS-Philadelphia Student Chapter is to provide a bridge between graduate students
and the larger, pharmaceutical presence in the Philadelphia area in an effort to
ensure a "next generation" of graduate students.
Proposed Activities and Events
Proposed activities for the upcoming year will involve but are not limited to PPF poster night and a possible Philadelphia Sixers game.
