Leadership: We encourage and foster the development of leaders who have the ability to influence the thinking, understanding, and attitudes of others and who have the ability and courage to identify and effect solutions. Leadership requires the ability to inspire, enable, instill confidence, build a shared vision and connect with others through mutual trust, responsiveness and sincerity.
Student pharmacist Morgan Woodard on leadership…
“What drew me to the pharmacy school was the leadership here. Our administrators are just so kind and welcoming. Go up to any of them with a problem, and they will help you. They are what you think of when you think of a true leader: lead from the bottom-up. I always feel like they are pushing me to do my best and meet my goals, not to meet their needs.
“Students stepping up to lead is cool as well. We can find an area we are passionate about and say ‘Here’s how I want to serve the pharmacy school.’ Students here push each other to do their best.”
