Chapter Information
With many interdisciplinary students at Long Island University (LIU), the AAPS-LIU Student Chapter provides a platform for participation in various regional and national AAPS activities. One of the oldest and largest schools of its kind in the country, the Arnold & Marie Schwartz College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences on the Brooklyn Campus of LIU educates nearly one-quarter of the pharmacists in New York.
Over the past few years, the College of Pharmacy has gone through major departmental changes. These include offering an M.S. degree in Industrial Pharmacy and a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutics, and the formation of a Pharmaceutical Sciences Division by merging the Divisions of Pharmaceutics and Industrial Pharmacy with the Division of Pharmacology. These changes have brought in exciting new faculty and enthusiastic new graduate students.
The objectives of LIU chapter are:
- Increase student participation in AAPS at regional and national levels;
- Increase student awareness of the latest developments and discoveries in the field of pharmaceutical sciences.
- Focus on career development by organizing a series of invited talks and seminars.
- Increase student interaction by encouraging participation in GRASP, and encourage development of a network among students from different schools and programs.
- Foster participation in outreach activities:
- Promote awareness of the AAPS student chapter and pharmaceutical science graduate programs on campus and extend our membership to professional Pharm.D. students.
- Encourage participation of students from the pharmacology, administrative sciences, chemistry, biology and mathematics departments by increasing student awareness of AAPS membership benefits and carrier opportunities in the pharmaceutical sciences.
