Welcome!

The Purdue AAPS Student Chapter warmly welcomes you to our website! Our mission is to increase awareness of career opportunities in the pharmaceutical sciences and related fields, provide opportunities for academic growth, professional advancement, and leadership development, and to increase student participation in the AAPS national organization. Becoming a member will greatly benefit your career through seminars with world-renowned scientists from academia and industry, field trips to industrial sites, and opportunities for networking with industrial and academic representatives, all of which are excellent resume builders. Also, throughout the year, we get to know each other better and blow off some steam through fun social events.

For those of you who wish to be more involved in the Chapter there are five standing committees:
  • Recruitment Committee: identifies and attracts new members to the Chapter.
  • Communications Committee: maintains the Chapter website and bulletin board.
  • Fund Raising Committee: identifies sources of funding for the Chapter.
  • Academic & Industrial Relations Committee: plans and hosts activities and events for chapter members.
  • Elections Committee: plans and oversees Chapter elections.
If you would like to participate in any of the standing committees please contact the appropriate committee chair.

We also encourage all student members to maintain membership with the national organization at a nominal cost of $30 per year. You can register online at: www.aapspharmaceutica.com/member or contact one of the Executive Board members for mail-in application forms. To learn more about the national organization you can access their website at: apps.org or aapspharmaceutica.com.

We would like to welcome you to the Chapter and look forward to an exciting 2005-2006 academic year! And be sure to check out our glass display case on the ground floor of the Purdue Pharmacy building (RHPH), across from the elevator. Go Boilers!!!
