Paving the Way for Women of Colour

Jocelyn Bonti-Akomah, a second-year pharmacy student is the first recipient of the Rexall Pharmacy Group ULC Community Involvement Award. This new award recognizes Black or Indigenous undergraduate students with a strong history of volunteering in their community who demonstrate the values of integrity, customer service, accountability, respect and excellence.

On Friday, September 23, Waterloo Pharmacy welcomed back its students with a BBQ to kick off the start of a new school year. For the first time since covid, more than 300 students, staff and faculty joined together for an outdoor lunch. Members of the school’s community gathered to enjoy food, play games, take pictures, and reconnect with classmates here at the School of Pharmacy in downtown Kitchener.

Graduate Chair J.M. Gamble hosted the event, acknowledging the winners and celebrating other successes of the graduate program.
