More than 200 students, faculty, and staff from the Wegmans School of Pharmacy engaged in volunteerism during the annual Service Day on Wednesday, April 16.

Teams of students from the campus pathway served at eight different non-profit agencies in the Rochester region, while their online pathway peers volunteered at organizations in their own communities.

“This is a fantastic day of caring for our communities collectively and it demonstrates the School’s mission of commitment to service and civic integrity,” said Dr. Christine Birnie, dean of the School.
