Alison Veltri has been selected to serve as an inaugural AACP (American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy) Membership Ambassador. The AACP Membership Ambassador Program is designed to increase and strengthen member engagement, particularly among new faculty and professional staff at colleges and schools of pharmacy. As an ambassador, she will serve as a key on-the-ground resource for AACP members at our College of Pharmacy—helping to share information about AACP meetings, publications, and professional development opportunities.
