Preview Day introduces prospective students to MU School of Pharmacy

High school students, undergraduates and graduates are encouraged to attend.

The Marshall University School of Pharmacy presents a Preview Day 2 p.m. Saturday for future pharmacy students.

High school students, undergraduates and graduates are encouraged to attend.

This day is the chance to visit the School of Pharmacy and meet professors, faculty and other students.

Laura Rudolph, director of recruitment and development for the School of Pharmacy, said she wants those who may not be a pharmacy major but have questioned the major to attend the event.

“As students begin to discover their possible career interests, it’s imperative to explore every avenue,” Rudolph said. “We felt that a Preview Day would showcase not only the vast career options in the pharmacy field, but provide area students an opportunity to experience Marshall’s unique active learning curriculum firsthand.”

The day will consist of an introduction of the dean and general sessions. Participants can choose what sessions they will attend.

Preview Day will give attendees the chance to see how professors teach and to get the full experience of a typical day in a pharmacist major.

“This day is all about students finding the right fit for them, finding a school that is going to help them get through their four years of school,” Rudolph said.

Preview Day will take place at the Robert W. Coon Medical Education building.
