Summer Research Fellowships offer advanced experience
Research and pizza are a better mix than you might imagine. For about 10 years running, VCU School of Pharmacy’s Summer Research Fellowship program has offered rising second- and third-year students the opportunity to conduct graduate-level research and then present it to their peers … along with the now-traditional pizza lunch.
These presentations, part of the 2015 Summer Pizza Research Lunch series, kick off July 7 with a Smith Building pizza social.
Summer Research Fellowships, which are supported by the Dean’s Office, allow Pharm.D. students research experience while being mentored by faculty volunteers from all three departments.
Selected students receive a two-month stipend. Successful completion of the program is a prerequisite for entrance into the school’s Pharm.D./Ph.D. combined degree program.
The entire series schedule follows. All lunch presentations will begin at noon in Smith, Room 129, unless otherwise noted, and typically will end no later than 1:15 p.m.:
