I know that many of you, if not all, are receiving letters and emails from ASHP asking you to renew your membership. If you submitted the voucher to us, your membership should have been renewed, so you may probably disregard the renewal reminders. However, to be sure, please log in to ashp.org under "My Account" and make sure that you see Student Member, expires 12/31/2013. This should be under ASHP Membership Info, NOT under My Subscription Info.
If you do not see your membership ending on 12/31/2013, please let us know so we can help you find the source of the problem.

Thank you to those who showed up to today's Dean's Hour. I think that it was very successful and many of us received new insights into preparing for residency applications, career prospects of clinical pharmacists, and where hospital pharmacy is headed in the future. Dr. Troy Kish kindly offered us to reach out to him via email for any further questions, so feel free to contact him at [email protected].

In other news, after prolonged consideration, our board has finally decided to appoint two officers for our Public Relations committee. Please join me in congratulating Eric Ocheretyaner and Jasmine Tabibi for joining our team!

We had an exceptionally large number of qualified applicants this year and unfortunately were only able to offer two people the positions. However, we appreciate all of those who showed interest in the position. We would like to thank you for being such active members of SSHP, which much more important than any committee position!
