SuccessRX

The Genesis Board hosts SuccessRx, a virtual series for pharmacy students. Through this virtual series, students will have the opportunity to have conversations with Genesis Board members from across many disciplines of pharmacy. The intent with this series is to provide opportunities for students to create connections and begin building a professional network through consistent interactions with Genesis Board members. Genesis Board members will focus on personal and professional development. Topics for each session will be based on student input and will include topics such as networking, how to get involved in the profession, and avoiding burnout.

Hart Entrepreneurial Program

The Hart Entrepreneurial Program is an opportunity for entrepreneurial-minded pharmacy students to receive support for their ideas and innovative projects. Students will be eligible to receive funding, support and guidance from advisors, and resource tools. The goal of this program is to encourage students to think innovatively, be encouraged to take risks, and turn your idea into reality.

Zada Cooper Leadership Symposium

Representing the Genesis Board on the Zada Cooper Leadership Symposium committee will help facilitate coordination of efforts and resources in the important area of leadership, knowledge and skills development to the students. The symposium is an opportunity for the pharmacy community to celebrate and advance their leadership roles in their professions, volunteer organizations, and personal lives.
