Message from the Dean
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Pharmacy, welcome to annual Career Fair! The opportunity for you to interact with our students, to educate them about employment opportunities, and to provide information and resources to explore their career options is invaluable.
Our students are interested in entering the challenging and rewarding world of pharmacy as practicing professionals, as trained researchers and educators in the pharmaceutical, social, and clinical sciences.
We look forward to our students continuing our traditions of excellence and innovation by exploring and forging new relationships as professional colleagues across the state.
On Wisconsin!
Steven M. Swanson, PhD
Dean and Professor
