I got a fabulous education at Pacific. The faculty provided me with the foundation for a successful, rewarding career in the pharmacy profession. I feel it is my responsibility to stay engaged and give back, whether with time, talent or treasure. Selfishly, I get much more out of my engagement than I give!
