Celebrating Purdue Pharmacy Women
Celebrating Purdue Pharmacy Women is a group organized and run by Purdue Pharmacy alumni that is dedicated to fostering mentorship and professional growth among all Purdue College of Pharmacy students and alumni. The group promotes meaningful engagement through discussions and events on topics such as exploring diverse career paths, navigating the transition from student to professional, balancing career and personal life, networking, career advancement, standing out as a young professional, and enhancing communication skills. While originally conceived as an alumni initiative to help support women in Pharmacy, the group welcomes all Pharmacy students and alumni.
Each year, Celebrating Purdue Pharmacy Women hosts a Spring Conference that brings together all Purdue College of Pharmacy students and alumni in a supportive, educational environment.
