Interested in Pharmacy? Check out UGA's College of Pharmacy's Open House

Dear School Administrators:

The University of Georgia College of Pharmacy will host an Open House for prospective students interested in the Doctor of Pharmacy degree on Saturday, February 24, from 10 am – 2:30 pm in the Pharmacy South Building, Room 101, located at 240 Green Street, Athens, Ga. 30602.  Participants will learn about the programs and offerings of the college during the event, which is free and open to the public. 

Please share the details about this important Open House with your students who are pursuing future science and healthcare careers, and encourage them to attend. The event will include a welcome and introduction by Dean Kelly Smith, a 1992 and 1993 alumna of the college who has served in her leadership capacity for five years; an overview of the Doctor of Pharmacy program; a panel discussion with faculty and alumni; a panel discussion with students; a hands-on experience of contemporary pharmacy practice; tours of the facility, including laboratories; and lunch. 

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median pay for pharmacists in 2022 was $132,750 annually, with the top 10 percent earning $164,000+. Employment of pharmacists is projected to grow 3% through 2032. Approximately 13,400 openings for pharmacists are estimated each year, on average, during the next decade. A career in pharmacy is not only fulfilling; it can be lucrative.

Please contact me with any questions or concerns regarding our Open House.  To register for this event, see College of Pharmacy Open House.  We look forward to the participation and attendance of students from your school.

Sincerely,
