Looking for the best time to host your organization's event? Introducing PCP Engagement Time Zones!

"PCP Engagement Time Zones" are 2 hour time blocks in PharmD schedule in which all P1-P3 students are available for at least PART of the time. These flexible time blocks allow students to engage with various opportunities, such as meeting potential employers, hosting organization fundraisers, attending informational sessions, or participating in other college-wide events that don't require full attendance for the entire duration. These time blocks differ from PCP Hour (Tuesday), and College Activity Time (Thursday) and SJU common hour (Friday) where all students are available. In many cases, Engagement Zones may be better options in that more students are on campus. Engagement Zones differ week-to-week based on the PharmD schedule. Engagement Zones will be included on the PCP Activity Calendars and can also be found on the Quick Links of the Student Google Site. The time can be utilized like any other event time (secure a space and post on STP). Note that IPEX 3rd floor lobby can be scheduled through Coursedog.
