As chair, Plewinski will help develop communications for social media, email, printed publications and online resources to distribute to student chapters across the country.

The mission of the APhA Academy of Student Pharmacists is to be the collective voice of student pharmacists, to provide opportunities for professional growth, to improve patient care, and to envision and advance the future of pharmacy.
