Drake University’s APhA-ASP Chapter attended the Midyear Regional Meeting (MRM) in Omaha, NE at the end of October. We had 17 students attend that were all excited to see what “policies” were going to be passed from our region. This was the first MRM for many of the attendees, but we were all pleasantly surprised that MRM was more than just policy debate. We were able to sit through workshops, discussions, and roundtables on how to be an effective leader, how to manage time, and how to get better chapter involvement on campus. I think it is safe to say that everyone that attended MRM will definitely be saving up for APhA Annual 2010! Also, since it was Halloween weekend there was a Friday night Halloween Social. So being the student pharmacists we are, our chapter dressed up as the periodic table of elements! We had costumes ranging from Einsteinium, Plutonium, Sodium, Chloride, and even Cesium! We all had a blast at this meeting and I think it is definitely one of those professional meetings that once you attend you are hooked! I hope that these 17 students that went can go tell other student pharmacists how it is important that our voice be heard and how fun and easy it is to get involved on a national level!
