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.
