47 years ago, on June 14, 1970, the School of Pharmacy dedicated its new building, Faser Hall. Named after #olemisspharmacy‘s first dean, Henry Faser, the new addition provided much-needed space for a growing research school.
Here’s a peek at the warm-up activity at #olemisspharmacy‘s Faculty and Research Scientist Retreat: group coloring!
Welcome to our new admissions counselor, Lindsey Cooper! Follow her at @olemisspharmacylindsey as she helps high school students become Early Entry students!
Thank you to Dr. Pablo Caviedes of @uchile for speaking with #olemisspharmacy! Videos of both his lectures are available on our YouTube page.
Dean David D Allen and #olemisspharmacy alumni and friends enjoyed just one of the perks of being a Mississippi pharmacist – work days that turn into beach days at the Mississippi Pharmacists Association convention.
