    Posted 11-28-2018 01:48 PM

    Hello colleagues,

    A reminder that AACP invites you to submit session proposals for the 2019 Admissions Workshop via a new session submission form. Session proposals are due by Thursday, December 20th at 5:00 pm ET. Additional details and information can be found below:

    Mark your calendars for the 2019 Admissions Workshop in Chicago, IL on July 12-13! During two, full days of programming, you will learn the latest about the application services, WebAdMIT, student recruitment and retention, technology resources, and more. The 2019 program will also include ample time to connect with colleagues and exchange ideas.

    GRADUATE ADMISSIONS TRACK – NEW!

    AACP invites faculty and staff who are involved in the admissions process for graduate (MS/PhD) programs at colleges and schools of pharmacy to participate in a new graduate track during the 2019 Admissions Workshop! The concurrent sessions will enable attendees to network and discuss important issues that are unique to graduate admissions and training.

    CALL FOR SESSION PROPOSALS – NEW!

    AACP invites you to submit session proposals for the 2019 Admissions Workshop via a new session submission form. Session topics may include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

    • Pharmacy college/school branding for recruitment
    • Professional development for the admissions/recruitment team
    • Digital innovation in student recruitment
    • Interactive pharmacy activities for K-12 students
    • Enrollment modeling and forecasting
    • Support programs for academically disadvantaged applicants
    • Diversity pipeline issues
    • Strategic partnerships to enhance recruitment
    • Non-traditional student recruitment
    • International student recruitment

    Session proposals are due by Thursday, December 20th at 5:00 pm ET.  All submitters will be notified by January 31, 2019 if their proposals have been accepted after review. This submission form differs from the one for the AACP Annual Meeting (now closed). Proposals for the Workshop must differ from ones submitted for the AACP Annual Meeting committee. Members and non-members are eligible to submit proposals. Topics may be related to PharmD admissions, graduate admissions, or both. Each standard session block will be 50 minutes. A limited number of open blocks are available. Proposals featuring speakers from more than one institution are encouraged. If there is a decision to merge similar proposals, submitters will be notified or consulted. Selected speakers will not be paid, and are responsible for their own registration, travel and hotel accommodations.

    Questions? Contact pharm4me@aacp.org. We look forward to reviewing your submissions!

    Thank you,

    The AACP Student Affairs Team
