E-NEWSLETTER OF THE
NATIONALLY RANKED
UNIVERSITY OF TOLEDO
COLLEGE OF PHARMACY AND
PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES
SCCP Student Research Symposium
The Student College of Clinical
Pharmacy (SCCP) at The University of
Toledo is the student chapter of the
American College of Clinical Pharmacy
(ACCP), a national professional and
scientific society that provides leadership,
education, advocacy, and resources
enabling clinical pharmacists to achieve
excellence in practice and research.
SCCP, which was officially recognized by
ACCP in fall 2013, is one of 26 student
chapters in the country. Students in SCCP
have been very active in promoting
clinical pharmacy and expanding
awareness among the student population.
The organization hosts Lunch-n-Learn
sessions, during which seminars about
current topics in clinical pharmacy such as
obesity and the new American Heart
Association lipid guidelines are discussed.
In March 2014, SCCP hosted its first
annual Student Research Symposium in
The Frederic and Mary Wolfe Center,
drawing students, faculty members and
members of the community to student
presentations about their research in
pharmacy and the pharmaceutical
sciences. Students presented scientific
posters or delivered a platform
presentation about their research during
the four-hour event.
The students who participated are
interested in clinical research, and their
experience in SCCP will prepare them for
residency training after earning the
Doctor of Pharmacy degree.
Clinical Associate Professor Julie
Murphy, PharmD „01, is the adviser for
SCCP.
“It was exciting to hear about the research
conducted by our 11 participating student
researchers,” Dr. Murphy said. “Students
in attendance who were not presenting
research heard ideas about how to get
involved in research within our
college. SCCP looks forward to
expanding the event next year.”

DIVERSITY in Practice
By Dr. Monica Holiday-Goodman
This past fall semester I
had the privilege of
participating in the
University‟s Diversity
Certificate program.
Although I have taught
diversity-related concepts
such as cultural
competence and health
disparities for several
years now, this experience
proved that I still have so
much to learn.
Diversity is a broad and
comprehensive concept
that touches all aspects of
life. Although many
associate diversity
exclusively with race and
ethnicity, it also
encompasses religion,
abilities, age, gender,
sexual orientation, and
socioeconomic status
among many other things.
I particularly enjoyed
learning about the social
of psychology of diversity,
For the girls, seeing women in various
career fields, especially those involving
science, may eventually have an impact on
the presence of women in these fields.
Thus, the event is aligned with the Girl
Scout mission to empower girls and
prepare them to contribute to society.
The UT chapter of Lambda Kappa Sigma
was recognized for this outreach project
last year at the organization‟s national
convention. They plan to host the First
Aid badge event annually.
The phrase “the power of girls” is taken from the
Girl Scouts‟ national website.
Girl Scouts earned their First Aid badges in a
multidisciplinary event organized by Lambda
Kappa Sigma pharmacy sorority.
This spring semester, Lambda Kappa
Sigma pharmacy sorority organized a
First Aid badge event for local Girl
Scouts. Members of the sorority, along
with medical students, a nursing student,
a Perrysburg firefighter, and a UTMC
pharmacist, provided learning modules
for the Scouts. Sixty-five girls in fourth
through eighth grades attended.
Sarah Breen, a senior cosmetic science
student and member of LKS, was
instrumental in starting this outreach
project last year. She believes this event is
important for the girls for multiple
reasons.
“It gives us a chance to teach younger
girls about safety. More importantly
though, it gives younger girls the
opportunity to meet women from
different career paths,” said Breen. “We
worked very hard to have as many
women as possible involved in all aspects
of the event.”

opening my eyes to the
issue of micro-aggressions
in interpersonal
communications.
Learning about diversity
in religious beliefs was
also a favorite topic of
mine.
Earning the certificate has
not only helped me
personally to interact
more effectively with
those around me, but it
has also enhanced my
performance within the
classroom, as I have
begun to incorporate
many of the lessons
learned in my course
content. As chair of CPPS
Human Diversity
Committee, the program
has also given me great
ideas for diversity training
sessions within the
College. I strongly
encourage everyone to
participate in some aspect
of the program. Whether
you attend an individual
session or attend the
requisite number to earn
the certificate, I guarantee
that you will benefit from
the experience.
