Department faculty have extensive state and national pharmacy leadership experience including advocating for expanding pharmacist scope of practice and caring for the underserved.

Known for its excellent public schools, natural beauty, and quaint, family-oriented neighborhoods, Connecticut blends the charm of New England with a cosmopolitan style.
