On August 8, 2024, the college welcomed back our PharmD students after a well-deserved summer break.

The college also welcomed the Class of 2028 as they began their journey at UT Health Science Center. Their orientation week included a faculty luncheon, campus tour, and dinner at the world-famous Rendezvous hosted by Walgreens.

We are excited to have the students back and look forward to supporting them as they continue their journey toward becoming pharmacists. See more photos from the Class of 2028 Orientation »
