Pharmacy Student Organizations

 

Students entering into the College of Pharmacy are encouraged to join and participate in student professional organizations. Such participation helps develop professionalism and leadership skills among the student body. The College of Pharmacy supports student involvement by providing membership for all pharmacy students in the Louisiana Pharmacist Association and the Louisiana Society of Health System Pharmacists.

 

 

Fundraising Guidelines for Student Organizations

All artwork and fundraising ideas must be approved by your advisor before proceeding. Upon approval, contact Executive Council Secretary , by email (@warhawks.ulm.edu) or phone  to check the availability of a week, which begins on Mondays and ends on Fridays. For your convenience, the updated fundraising calendar will be posted to the Pharmacy Council Facebook page so you can view the available weeks. After those two steps, complete and submit the fundraising google form sent to you by Executive Council Secretary. 

 

The following information can be found in the Pharmacy Council Constitution.

 

“Each student organization shall complete and submit a fundraiser form to the Pharmacy Council Secretary two weeks before the requested fundraising dates for approval prior to initiating the fundraiser. Fundraisers will be held to the following fundraising standards:

 

A. Each student organization shall have no more than one fundraiser each semester targeting the students except approved apparel fundraisers that remain within the guidelines set forth. Other fundraisers may be held as long as they are not targeted toward students and are approved by the Council.

 

B. Each student organization shall have no more than two apparel fundraisers each year.

 

C. Fundraisers which provide materials required by a class will not count toward that organization’s semester fundraiser.

 

D. There shall only be one fundraiser permitted per week to prevent overlapping of any fundraising events. 

 

Fundraising Protocol still must be followed  if you are having a fundraising event within your organization. As long as these events are not school wide they are unlimited.  

 

Contact Executive Council Secretary with any questions. 

 

Responsibilities of Faculty Advisors for Student Organizations

Faculty advisors for student organizations are given the privilege and responsibility of mentoring professional students in preparation for their careers in pharmacy. This responsibility should not be taken lightly, and at a minimum, faculty advisors should ensure that their respective organizations:

 

1.  Meet all the requirements of their national charters if they exist;

 

2.  Meet all University requirements for student organizations and comply with all University rules and regulations;

 

3.  Meet all College of Pharmacy rules and regulations;

 

4.  Provide appropriate professional related activities and opportunities; and

 

5.  Are good stewards with funds obtained from organizational fundraisers.

 

Additionally, faculty advisors should be present at all business meetings and social functions sponsored by the organization. Advisors are also encouraged to be involved in regional and national activities of the organization.
