Every Purdue College of Pharmacy student deserves a seat at the table. On this incredibly impactful episode of Living the Pharm Life, Marie Martin-Murphy, Director of Educational Opportunities and Student Success, and Claire Reyes, President of the Student Diversity Council, talk about championing the space where every student is welcome and every voice is heard.   The College of Pharmacy is staying true to Purdue’s Land Grant Mission of learning, discovery and engagement by making sure each student has the resources to thrive academically, socially, and beyond.   Marie, a native of the Bahamas born to Haitian imigrant parents, discusses her own rich cultural experiences and how they’ve shaped her passion for providing the many student success resources available within the college.   In parallel, Claire, a Filipina PharmD student hailing from southern Indiana, talks about why inclusion matters to her and highlights the work of the Pharmacy Student Diversity Council.
