About the Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ School of Pharmacy Alumni Association

The mission of the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ) Jerry H. Hodge School of Pharmacy Alumni Association (SOPAA) is to promote the continuous development and training of practitioners, researchers and educators. We do so by:

• Promoting the Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ School of Pharmacy
• Promoting and advocating for the pharmacy profession and the ongoing professional development of our graduates
• Supporting other School of Pharmacy alumni through fellowship and networking opportunities
• Informing fellow graduates about existing opportunities to partner with the school in developing and mentoring current pharmacy students

SOPAA is one of seven alumni chapters which form the Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ Alumni Association.
