Rho Chi’s Academic Committee Celebrates Another Successful Year of Tutoring 

The Rho Chi Academic Committee is a program that was initiated in the Fall of 2018 as a way to promote academic achievement in pharmacy students. There is an Academic Committee, consisting of a head chair and committee members, for the majority of courses in the professional years of the Pharm.D. curriculum. 

This program entails hosting review sessions and creating study materials for students taking these courses. During the Fall 2019 semester, the Rho Chi Academic Committee program hosted a total of 33 review sessions with a cumulative attendance of 340 students. The Rho Chi Society looks forward to continuing and expanding this program.
