American Pharmacists Association Academy of Student Pharmacists

The organization seeks to encourage all pharmacy students to become more knowledgeable about APhA and the profession of pharmacy.

Christian Pharmacists Fellowship International

Our mission is to encourage spiritual growth among fellow pharmacy students, faculty, and staff through Bible study, prayer, and fellowship to in turn be as a city on a hill that cannot be hidden and the light to a darkened world (Matthew 5:4).

Phi Lambda Sigma

The primary goal of this organization is to promote the development of leadership qualities, especially among pharmacy students. Through peer recognition, the Society encourages participation in all pharmacy activities. Since membership crosses fraternal and organizational lines, the Society does not compete with other pharmacy organizations.

Union University College of Pharmacy provides a professional and exciting learning environment in the field of pharmaceutical sciences. Our mission is to advance our knowledge and assume significant leadership positions within the field of pharmaceutical sciences. Our primary goal is to work closely with the department's faculty in an effort to advance our knowledge and learn about opportunities in the field. We spread the word about our chapter's existence and enlighten our peers of the opportunities that exist within this organization. We strive to be active in our community and encourage participation in the American Association of Pharmaceutical Sciences activities at the local, regional, and national level.

The purpose of the organization is to orient students to the practice of clinical pharmacy by providing information to students about careers and opportunities within the field of clinical pharmacy, promoting dedication to excellence in patient care, research and education, and encouraging skill development necessary to function within an interdisciplinary team. The organization will also advocate the role of clinical pharmacists within healthcare and encourage participation in the American College of Clinical Pharmacy at the national level and/or the local/regional chapters.

Student Ambassador Program

Student Ambassadors serve as representatives of the College of Pharmacy. The purpose of the Student Ambassador Program is to carry forward the mission and message of Union University and the College of Pharmacy to potential students and the community at large. The Student Ambassadors will also promote Pharmacy as a career through various activities. Activities of Student Ambassadors include, but are not limited to, providing tours, participating in community events, assisting with school events and mentoring pre-pharmacy students.
