StEPP Student Advisory Board. Would you like to join the inaugural StEPP student advisory board? Interested students will help shape the co-curricular experience by advocating for new and enhanced learning opportunities designed to ensure all pharmacy students are prepared to demonstrate self-awareness, leadership, and professionalism upon graduation. Participation in the board will include monthly meetings to discuss everything from program goals to assignments and schedules. We currently hope for 2-3 students from each PharmD class, U2-P3, to serve as advocates for their classmates for the remainder of the academic year. Of course, participation on the advisory board can and should be used as a StEPP goal/activity. Anyone interested in joining the board, should complete the short application form.
