FOURTH-YEAR PHARM.D. STUDENTS: Adeola Adeniji, Jamie Artale, April Dawn Marie Boucher, Christopher Hays Bowling, Esther Hwang, Kathleen T. Nguyen, Andrea Ravelo, Jalpa B. Patel, Ji Yeon Shin, Paul Singh and Andrew Whitman.
GRADUATE STUDENTS: Daniel Afosah and Urjita Shah, both in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry.
New School of Pharmacy members who participated in the Nov. 21 induction ceremony at the Greater Richmond Convention Center were welcomed by Tom Reinders, SOP associate dean for admissions and student services, and Anne Chandler, president of the VCU chapter of Phi Kappa Phi and interim dean for the university’s Honors College.
Phi Kappa Phi was founded in 1897, and the VCU chapter was established in 1976.
The VCU chapter also established a scholarship program in 1991, which was featured in the Fall 2013 edition of Phi Kappa Phi Forum. The School of Pharmacy’s Phi Kappa Phi 2013 scholarship recipients were graduate students Poonam Delvadia (Pharmaceutics), Bassem Mohammed (Pharmacotherapy and Outcomes Science) and Farhana Sakloth (Medicinal Chemistry).
