The School of Pharmacy at the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) inducted 19 new student members to its campus chapter of Phi Lambda Sigma, a national pharmacy leadership society.
The new members pledged to uphold the standards and ideals of Phi Lambda Sigma, to be advocates for pharmacy through their leadership and service, and to practice pharmacy with dignity, knowledge, ethics and a concern for the well-being of those who they serve. The students were chosen for membership in part because of their leadership positions in student government and in other clubs and organizations on campus.
