This year’s Student Organizational Annual Retreat, or SOAR, program featured a subtle mix of practical leadership development and 80s pop workout culture, with sessions like, “Discover What Makes You Totally Stoked,” and “Exercising Leadership Using the Equipment in your Home Gym.”

Pharm.D. students from the Jacksonville campus hosted 95 students from all three campuses for SOAR on Jan. 12. The program gives pharmacy students the opportunity to grow individually as leaders and grow their on-campus organizations. 

“With this fun and inviting atmosphere, students were able to laugh and enjoy the day, but at the same time, hone in on skills that will make a lasting impact on their future career in the profession of pharmacy,” said Morgan Leavins, a third-year Pharm.D. student who co-chaired the event.
