Welcome!

UConn's American Association of Pharmaceutical Sciences (AAPS) Student Chapter seeks to increase student participation in the activities of AAPS at the local and national levels. The chapter also serves to increase student awareness of career opportunities and the latest discoveries in the pharmaceutical sciences. The chapter provides students with opportunities for professional advancement and leadership development, and fosters participation in outreach activities that further the goals and objectives of AAPS. We host scientific seminars, professional and career-development workshops,community outreach programs, as well as networking events in collaboration with pharmaceutical scientists across academia, industry, and the regulatory agency. The chapter is open to all undergraduate and graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and faculty members at UConn.
