2012 Nov 9

The University of Charleston School of Pharmacy recently inducted 14 new students into the Delta Lambda Chapter of the Rho Chi Honor Society, including Huntington, W.Va., native Elizabeth Capper.

The Rho Chi Society encourages and recognizes academic excellence, promotes high standards of conduct and character, fosters a fellowship among its members, and seeks recognition of its members as lifelong intellectual leaders in Pharmacy. Today, the thousands of Rho Chi members who live throughout the nation and the world, represent those who have achieved academic distinction in Pharmacy. The Rho Chi Society is fully recognized among all other scholastic honor societies and is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies which, in effect, serves to accredit academic honor societies.

The University of Charleston School of Pharmacy enrolled its first students in 2006, and received full accreditation when the first class graduated in May, 2010. Each year, the school educates over 300 student pharmacists in a new, technology-filled building. The program is known for the close cooperation between students and faculty, an emphasis on professionalism and advocacy, and PharmUC, an on-campus provider of medication therapy management and chronic disease education services for patients.
