MPA was active at the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) Annual Meeting & Exposition March 12-15 in Washington, D.C., hosting events and providing networking opportunities for student pharmacists. Through sponsorship by Michigan Pharmacy Foundation (MPF), students from each Michigan college of pharmacy were able to attend the Political Leadership Breakfast. Students in attendance through the MPF sponsorship included Janelle Turino, Kimberly Betters, Megan Hansen, Clayton Gilde, Charles Makowski, Claire Lee and Kim Claeys. Claire Lee also sits on the APhA Academy of Student Pharmacists (APhA-ASP) Policy Review Committee and represented Michigan as a delegate to the APhA House of Delegates. Students were also invited to a luncheon hosted by MPA at Finn and Porter restaurant on March 13.
