Gowri Kalyani found her calling in pharmacy after witnessing the powerful role pharmacists play in guiding patients through complex transitions of care. Now a Pharm.D. candidate at UHCOP, she has turned that early inspiration into action — conducting oncology adherence research, advocating for underserved communities through AmeriCorps and Legacy Community Health, and stepping into leadership roles that challenge and grow her.

For the second consecutive year, the UHCOP Chapter of the Student Society of Health-System Pharmacists (SSHP) has been recognized as a 2025-26 American Society of Health-System Pharmacy (ASHP) Outstanding Professional Development Award recipient for its Residency Bootcamp. The chapter was one of 17 nationwide to receive the honor from the ASHP Pharmacy Student Forum.

With grant support from its national parent organization, the University of Houston College of Pharmacy chapter of the American Association of Psychiatric Pharmacists (AAPP) is launching “Operation Seizure First Aid” to strengthen seizure safety and emergency preparedness across the UH campus.
