Julia Rumley: Class of 2021

Describe your experience at the College of Pharmacy.
My experience at the College of Pharmacy was challenging, frustrating, and rewarding. There were times when I accomplished personal milestones, but plenty of times when I disappointed myself, too. Still, when I look back on the past four years, I feel good about the progress I have made since my first year. I also feel grateful for my peers and faculty who supported me. The College of Pharmacy community supplied me with many role models.

Course Challenges Students to Engage with the Community on Tough Issues

One of the primary goals of the College of Pharmacy’s Drugs of Abuse course is to engage students in the community to discuss the difficult issues of illicit drug use, says course director Dr. Dave Ferguson.

“The root of this class is based in pharmacology and chemistry. But all of the projects are focused on engagement in the community,” said Ferguson.
