Supporting student success at the eighth annual golf invitational

Alumni and friends of the Waterloo Pharmacy community came out to the 8^th annual golf invitational, a competitive and fun-filled day of golf which dedicates proceeds to the Student Success Fund. This annual event has raised over $200,000, providing funding for a variety of student initiatives.

Thanks to support of this event, over 600 pharmacy students have been able to attend conferences like the OPA Conference, the CPhA conference, and Professional Development Week. The Student Success Fund also supports graduate awards that recognize graduate students for accomplishments like Best Thesis Defence or Best Mentor as a Graduate Teaching Assistant. Many attendees of the golf invitational are dedicated to supporting students and return every year.
