CONGRATULATIONS! Drake University College of Phar macy & Healt h Sciences Class of 2020

Drake University College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences (CPHS) held their 2020 Commencement Ceremony virtually on Saturday, May 16. An additional video ceremony was created for CPHS graduates, and students were introduced as they “crossed” the screen instead of the stage. Three student government representatives reflected on their first experiences at Drake through graduation and provided words of encouragement for the graduates as they start their careers amidst a global pandemic.

CONGRATULATIONS! The University of Iowa College of Phar macy Class of 2020

Commencement looked very different this spring for all graduates. Both the University of Iowa College of Pharmacy and Drake University College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences held virtual ceremonies.

The University of Iowa College of Pharmacy Genesis Board, young alumni who provide opportunities to facilitate student success, started commencement week offering a virtual toast to the graduates. P4 No More, a senior recognition event, took place virtually the night before commencement on May 13. Dean Donald Letendre and Associate Dean Susan Vos welcomed the graduates and their families, and the 2019 Teachers of the Year offered congratulatory messages. The Doctor of Pharmacy Commencement was live-streamed the morning of May 14. Speakers included Dean Letendre, Class President Marjorie Peck, and Secretary Tom Vilsack, former Iowa Governor.
