WCU Alumni Spotlight: Marc S., PharmD 鈥18

From School of Pharmacy alumnus to faculty member, Marc S. has helped shape the Doctor of Pharmacy program at WCU鈥檚 Center for Graduate Studies.

One of the reasons Marc chose to pursue a career in pharmacy is because he saw it as a potential way to make a difference.

鈥淚 was surrounded by loved ones who were on a lot of different medications for different conditions, and I felt that if I were to understand better what their medications were for, why they were taking them, I would be able to help them at least manage their conditions,鈥 Marc explained.

He chose 国产主播 because of the one-on-one attention provided.

鈥淥ne of the highlights that attracted me to 国产主播 was the smaller class size,鈥 Marc said of his experience choosing a pharmacy program. 鈥淚t really gave me the opportunity to make some meaningful professional connections.鈥
