Pharmacy Buckeyes Building Community celebrates two years

The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy has just wrapped up year two of the Pharmacy Buckeyes Building Community (PBBC) wellness campaign. On Friday, April 19, the college gathered for a PBBC wrap-up celebration and raffle. 

Assistant Professor Kristy Jackson received the P3 teaching award at the start of the celebration.

The PBBC theme was established by the college in 2022 to address challenges of social isolation during the Covid-19 pandemic. Throughout the academic year, Wellness and Community Builder, Emily Keeler, organized events for college members to get to know each other outside the classroom.

• Student financial series

• Hiking at Old Man’s Cave with Associate Professor Rebecca Lahrman, PharmD, MS, BCACP
