Leadership That Begins Locally And Extends Globally

"More than 90 percent of students at USP have jobs or have been accepted for advanced study before graduation." When Isha read this statistic, she was confident no other university could better prepare her with a pharmacy education. As a student, Isha soon realized that Philadelphia College of Pharmacy professors are not only leaders in their fields but also encourage students to be innovative and make a global impact. "I wanted to establish the first annual 5K Race for Humanity, which would bring together students, faculty, alumni, and members of the community to spread awareness for global health issues. The University was very supportive at every stage of the planning process, and through the race, we raised $10,000 to help eradicate measles in Africa."
