PUMP stands for Pharmacology Undergraduate Mentorshship Program. This program is designed to match younger pharmacology students with an older pharmacology mentor. The goal of PUMP is to help orient new students with older students who may be able to give them advice, feedback, or just generally be an open ear. Programs like PUMP are particularly important this year during online learning, as many students, both older and younger, may be craving more meaningful relationships with others in the program. PUMP events are held throughout the year and are centered around fun, casual activities like PowerPoint parties or trivia nights. Pump events are open to all, even if you are not engaged in the program yourself. Fill out the form below if you are interested in being either a mentor or a mentee and we will be in touch shortly!
