Ways to Contribute Ways to Contribute Time/Talent: One of the best ways to make an impact on tomorrow’s health care professionals is to donate you time and talents to help them grow while they learn at Creighton SPAHP. In Lab: The Creighton SPAHP Alumni Relations Office is working with the pharmacy faculty instructing in the Dispensing and Pharmaceutical Care Laboratory (PHA 486) course in piloting a program that engages alumni as standardized patients in labs. This volunteer service opportunity connects Creighton alumni and students while utilizing special skill-sets that only our healthcare professional alumni possess. Student feedback to this pilot thus far has been tremendously positive, as the impression left by the “personal touch” of alumni taking time out of their busy schedules to contribute to the student’s learning is a lasting one. Volunteer as a Reunion Coordinator: Reunions are a great way for alumni to reunite with classmates, renewing old friendships while reconnecting with their alma mater. Creighton needs your help to encourage attendance for the 2007 Alumni Reunion Weekend and make it a memorable and experience for all. As I’m sure you can appreciate, bringing friends and classmates back to campus is no easy task.

For example, interviews are now required for admissions to the Pharmacy and Physical Therapy programs, and if you choose; you can be a part of the admissions process by interviewing prospective students.
