With long standing history, LKS Alpha Theta chapter was established since 1952 at University of Buffalo School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
What Do We Do?
Throughout the school year, we provide the opportunity to network and to make new friends with our many social events, such as Halloween costume contest and Winter holiday celebrations. Some of our annual community service events include Fall Back on Track, which focuses on educating students in the residence halls regarding living a healthy lifestyle and Spring into Health that promotes wellness for the elder population in a long term care setting. We also have a focus on important Women's Health Initiatives, such as skin cancer awareness, throughout each semester. In addition to social and community service events, LKS also hosts a variety of workshops and invites distinguished speakers throughout the year to our current members for professional development.
What is Project HOPE?
As a part of LKS’ mission and our philanthropy, we donate to Project HOPE annually through our fundraising events. Project HOPE (Health Opportunities for People Everywhere) is an international organization that strives to improve local health systems by providing accessible resources to local communities in need, and to provide Health Loans to families for better health treatment opportunities.
