About Us

The American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) Student Chapter at the University of Minnesota was established in February 2002 with the primary objective of promoting participation in AAPS activities at the local, regional and national levels. Since its inception, chapter membership has expanded to include postdoctoral staff and graduate students from other programs at the University of Minnesota , such as Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology and Biomedical Engineering, and currently we have over 30 members!

AAPS student chapter members have participated in numerous events in the last several years ranging from scientific seminars and skill development workshops to social outings, such as baseball games and picnics in local parks. All activities have been planned and organized by committee members with the goal of increasing scientific knowledge, enhancing professional skills, and encouraging social and professional interaction among chapter members.

Events have generously been funded by the AAPS as a part of their continuing effort to encourage ongoing education, professional development and active participation of individuals at all levels of their academic and professional careers.
