Chapter Information
Located in the heart of New York City, the students of St. John’s
University represent a large cultural diversity. By recently
establishing an AAPS student chapter they aim to bring these
diverse intellectual and cultural resources to a common platform to
enable the growth and prosperity of the scientific community. The
chapter’s primary objective is to encourage the professional
development of its members, advance the awareness of professions in
the pharmaceutical sciences, strengthen leadership qualities and
create networking opportunities among its members.
Objectives of the SJU-AAPS Student Chapter
-
To provide a rich learning environment that is conducive to
research with an emphasis on developing an open atmosphere for
graduate student scientific and social interaction.
-
To spearhead a collective effort to increase awareness of the
pharmaceutical sciences among the undergraduates with the hope
of providing them with a graduate studies option which they may
not have considered.
-
To bring the community up-to-date on pharmaceutical sciences
research and regulatory aspects concerning research.
-
To increase student awareness of AAPS membership benefits and
to work in close association with other student chapters to
promote student participation in AAPS activities at the local,
regional and national levels.
