reetings all! Today we have an important announcement about the tailgate coming up this weekend. But we also come to you introducing a new focus on our student pharmacists. We think we have an exceptional group of students at HSOP. They continues to amaze us with their intelligence, drive, determination, and their interests outside of pharmacy that you might not expect. And our group continues to get more diverse all the time with students from all over the world. Their ages continue to range wide; some young, some older. We think you will enjoy learning more about them as we have, and we start today.
