 Moving Forward Campaign - Library Fund Challenge
Don Seifert, member of the Class of 1958, is challenging alumni to step up and join him in support of the Moving Forward Capital Campaign.
Don is asking you to send $10.00 to the ACPHS Library Fund and he will donate $8,000 after the first 4,000 responses and $15,000 after 5,000 responses to this challenge.
"We all share one thing - our time spent at the College," Don says. "When we give back to our alma mater, we enhance the caliber of the experience and ensure it for future generations."

 Density Screenings Help Ensure Patients Aren't "Bad to the Bone"
One of the newest organizations at the College is the student chapter of the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA). Formed just this year, the group already has 114 members. On Saturday, March 9, twenty members, along with Professor Michael Kane '84, held a bone density screening in the Albany Campus Student Center. Using factors such as genetics, history of previous fractures, and smoking/tobacco use, the students helped assess each person's risk factor for osteoporosis. For more information on what NCPA has planned for the remainder of the academic year please contact Amy Tran today. |
