Alberta Pharmacy Students' Association

Well done on making it though another year 💕 Good luck to everyone with placements, and to the fourth years with exams! Hope everyone has a restful and relaxing break! See you again next year (third years we will miss seeing you on campus)! Thank you to all the volunteers and sponsors for making this year so memorable.

Join us on Saturday, April 4 from 8–11 PM at Pickleball Hub (West Location) for a night of pickleball to wrap up the year and take a well-deserved break before finals! 🏓

We’ll have 7 courts available:

• 4–5 courts for a tournament-style bracket

No partner? No problem — we’ll match you up!

Equipment:
Paddles are available to borrow if needed — just let us know. Please bring indoor shoes, workout attire, and anything else you may need.

Fees:
Free for APSA Members
$5 for Non-Members (e-transfer to [email protected])

He will also highlight his work on the WIND-PSC Study, a research initiative to explore how patient-centered research can improve clinical trial access and outcomes for patients. The session will conclude with a brief Q&A for attendees to ask questions about his career and research.
