We adjusted the initiation procedure to better recognize intellectual achievement of students and promote continued excellence of the students in our pharmacy program. We invited Dr. Hiroshi Maeda to accept the Roland T. Lakey Award, an award given to individuals who have made significant impacts in the field of pharmacy, and represent an intellectual leader that our members should strive to emulate. We continued to support the highest ethical standards of our members by finding new volunteering opportunities including presenting to Vista Maria, a disfranchised and abused women’s’ shelter, to better connect to our community and provide our services to those who most need it. Finally, a strong focus was to improve the tutoring that our organization offers to help all of the students of Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy reach their full potential. Through the mentorship of Dr. Brian Crabtree and collaboration with other student organizations such as Phi Lambda Sigma we will continue to refine our chapter to best represent the ideals of the Rho Chi Society.</p><p>Activities: See table below in Appendix titled “Alpha Chi Chapter, Wayne State University Activity Table” for a summary of the main activities of the Alpha Chi Chapter this past academic year.</p><p>Financial/ Budgeting: The main expenses for our chapter this year was the annual Lakey Lecture Award/Rho Chi Banquet. We were able to receive funding through the Department of Student Services (DOSO) at Wayne State University for the majority of the Roland T. Lakey Award Reception and Rho Chi Banquet, which included catering along with lodging and airfare for our Lakey Award winner. The charge for new initiates to attend the banquet were covered by faculty member donations, as well as the Department of Pharmacy Practice. This shows the strong support and relationship our chapter has maintained with faculty and program throughout the years. Additional funding was received from the Deans Office of Eugene Applebaum to support our members going to the national meeting. In addition, our chapter purchased the Rho Chi graduation cords for each member. Our main source of fundraising is done through school food sales but other methods have been investigated to varying degrees of success. A financial breakdown can be found in the “Alpha Chi Chapter Financial Report” below. </p><p>Initiation Function: The 2017 initiation ceremony for new members was held in conjunction with the annual Roland T. Lakey Award Lecture. The event was held on Wednesday, April 5th, 2017 from 4:30 – 7:30 PM at the Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences in Detroit, Michigan. Our chapter inducted 15 new student members. The initiation banquet was held immediately following the Lakey Award Lecture and was attended by Rho Chi initiates and their loved ones. Dr. Hiroshi Maeda was the distinguished speaker at this function as recipient of the Roland T. Lakey Award. Dr. Maeda is a renowned scientist in macromolecular therapeutics. He created the world’s first polymeric nanotechnology to be approved for the treatment of human patients. He spoke the welcoming words to the initiates and congratulated them all on their future success. In addition, the 2016-2017 elected board members, the faculty advisor, and many Eugene Applebaum faculty members were present for the event to support the new initiates. </p><p>Revised 9-12-14 The Rho Chi Society Annual Chapter Report </p><p>Evaluation/Reflection: Our chapter is deeply thrilled with the success that our organizations has had in the previous years. All our members of our organization were involved throughout the year allowing success of all of our activities. Our nomination as a finalist for the Chapter Achievement Award motivated us to continue our work and improve upon our legacy for the Alpha Chi Chapter for years to come. Our goal is to continue to improve and be recognized by the national branch of Rho Chi as a leading example of success of what Rho Chi chapters can bring to their parent schools. </p><p>Our tutoring program was completely overhaled this year and was met with resounding praise from students and faculty alike. The combination of direct one on one tutoring along with planned teaching sessions were able to target a larger range of students, and have a positive impact on their academic future. Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy enacted a new curriculum for the first-year students and we made it an objective to ease the transition of the new students to the best of our abilities. We still must refine what lessons we will plan to teach throughout the year and improve communication with professors to increase the utilization of our tutoring services. </p><p>The introduction of Vista Maria volunteering was an experience many of our members were grateful for and shows that we should continue our outreach into Detroit. Our location offers us many unique opportunities to have a great impact on our community and we are currently planning more initiatives in Detroit to represent the Alpha Chi chapter, Rho Chi, and the practice of pharmacy. </p><p>The main goal for improvement of our chapter will be to increase the interaction and involvement of the previous years of members of the Alpha Chi. The large brunt of work falls on the new initiates of our chapter and increased interaction between the new and old members would be mutually beneficial. This also includes outreach to our alumni who would be an invaluable resource for the development of intellectual leaders of our members. This will be done be increased contact with all of our members and events like socials to promote this interaction. By forming a new mentor/mentee relationship between new inductees and past members we will be able to follow the ideals of the Rho Chi Society and truly support our members’ development into the best pharmacist that they can be.</p><p>Respectfully,</p><p>Derek Montgomery, Pharm.D.
