From the Dean's Desk

As we welcome our newest class of pharmacy students along with our returning students, it is a different world in which we seek to continue to provide the best learning environment. As part of our efforts to provide a safe environment, I am pleased to announce that our lab has received CLIA certification and is seeking emergency use authorization (EAU) from the FDA that will allow us to conduct rapid testing and diagnosis for COVID-19. This testing ability will hopefully allow us to keep our university community even more safe. It is a great time to be part of the College of Pharmacy!
