Dozens of high school students descended on Avedisian Hall Friday to learn about the College of Pharmacy and the opportunities it offers during the College’s annual High School Day.

High school students with an interest in a career in pharmacy and their families and teachers were welcome to tour the building, and speak to URI students and professors about the College and the pharmacy profession in general. High School Day aims to give students the opportunity to:

  • Learn the role of pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists.
  • Explore research opportunities.
  • Participate in health and wellness activities.
  • Tour the pharmacy building and medicinal garden.
  • Experience the College’s simulation lab.
