Food, Friends, and Community! I joined because an upperclassman I knew was in SNPhA and said we should stop by for free lunch. My friends and I had so much fun at the meetings that we ended up going to each meeting thereafter.  Getting involved was the next best thing!

Don't be too prideful. Be willing to ask for help from the people around you. We are all peers for a reason!

Our chapter welcomes everyone of all pharmacy interests and different pharmacy experiences, and this year, we want to include our friends from all campus too. AKA YOU!  All we ask is that you care for the well-being of our community and want to make the pharmacy world better.

I really like what this group advocates for and wanted to step out of my comfort zone and be more involved in school organizations! I was also lowk roped in by Tiffany

Be yourself and explore! This is an entirely new experience than what you’ve gone through in undergrad, you will learn a lot (about pharmacy and yourself) and meet so many new people too. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there and dip your toesies into something you want to do! And I will also reiterate, don’t be afraid to ask for help from us or any upperclassmen because we will be happy to help!

I joined SNPhA after being introduced to the organization by some of my friends who are upperclassmen! I really enjoyed the friendly environment at the meetings and how down to earth everyone is! I love being apart of an organization where you can just be yourself while also connecting with other students!

Study hard but also Take Time For Yourself! Your mental health is extremely important. Finding that balance of studying and having fun makes pharmacy school less stressful!

I joined SNPhA after going to the national conference last August. Everyone was welcoming, warm, and encouraging. After gaining a sense of what SNPhA was about, I decided to come back to UMKC and officially join as a member.

Reach out to any upperclassmen you know and use them as a resource. Ask as many questions as you can to gauge how studying might look like for you. Have faith that you can do anything! <3
