UGA Black Student Pharmacist Organization - BSPO

Miss Mozella Esther Lewis was one of many first black pharmacist entrepreneurs opening her own pharmacy in Los Angeles. There is few information about her, but very much an asset to history!

Congratulations to BSPOs new executive board for 2023-2024 school year! Thank you to everyone who applied!

We are happy to announce that BSPO and APhA-ASP are hosting a feminine hygiene drive now through April 14th! These items will be donated to local women’s shelters on each campus. Click through each slide to see what each area specifically needs. Donation bins will be located on each campus, and which ever pharmacy class donates the most will receive a special prize!

Join us this Wednesday as we hear from Michel Okeke, PharmD who is currently completing his post-doctoral fellowship in US Oncology Brand Marketing at Jansen Biotech! Use the zoom link in the flyer or follow the link in the bio to join.

Mary Munson Runge broke so many barriers during her time as a pharmacist. Not only was she the first woman APhA representative to ACPE, she went in to become the first woman to be president of APhA, ending 126 years of men serving as its president!

BSPO Executive Board applications are now open until this Sunday at 11:59pm! Scan the QR code or follow the link in our bio!

Congratulations to our two winners of the BSPO Culture Quest, Renee Manning and Kaila Williams! Thank you to everyone who participated.

Ms. Rosamond Alice Guinn was 1 of 13 female students enrolled at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy. She and 7 of her colleagues decided to form a group who’s initiative was to help ensure that future women pharmacists were supported through their profession and personally. This group is what we know as Lambda Kappa Sigma!

Did you know about Ms. Anna Louise James?

Happy Women’s History Month! Follow along our social media this month as we shed light on some amazing women that contributed to the pharmacy field!
