This past weekend the University of Waterloo opened its doors to prospective students for the Spring 2025 Open House. At the School of Pharmacy Kitchener Campus, we welcomed over 175 future PharmD students and their families. They joined a presentation to hear about Canada's only PharmD co-op program, asked questions about the PharmD program and the pharmacy profession and toured the building.
"Participating in the Fall Open House was a great opportunity to connect with incoming and prospective students. I had the pleasure of sharing my journey—how I got to where I am today and what inspired me to pursue pharmacy. Reflecting on my path reminded me why I chose this profession: to make a real difference,” says Lane Phillips (Rx2028) student ambassador.
“To me, Care with Confidence means combining knowledge with compassion to deliver patient-centred care grounded in trust and empathy. This event truly showcased Waterloo Pharmacy’s dedication to excellence, collaboration and compassionate care, and I’m proud to be part of a community that empowers us to grow as clinicians.”
Waterloo Pharmacy was also on main campus connecting with many excited future pharmacists and answering their questions at the Faculty of Science Open House.
From the building’s history to lab tours, attendees learned what makes Waterloo Pharmacy unique and what a future education will have in store. Current students ran the tours and answered questions ranging from program requirements to what a typical day as a Waterloo Pharmacy student looks like.
Thank you to all our student ambassadors who volunteered their time to help make these events a success! Our Open House would not be the same without your passion and dedication. To all those who were able to attend, thank you for visiting us. We hope to see you again in the future.
