Student Organizations
Multicultural Pharmacy Student Organization (MPSO)
This student group aims to celebrate diversity, educate students and professionals about underserved populations, help enhance cultural competency, and advocates for the elimination of health care disparities in Duluth and the Twin Cities.
Research
Our research educates people whose health is influenced by these research areas to actively make decisions about their health outcomes and creates connections and advances knowledge into other research areas to improve health outcomes for all populations.
Land Acknowledgement
The University of Minnesota College of Pharmacy acknowledges that the Duluth and Twin Cities campuses are built on the traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. The Duluth campus resides on land that was cared for and called home by the Ojibwe people, before them the Dakota and Northern Cheyenne people, and other Native peoples from time immemorial. The Twin Cities campus is built within the traditional homelands of the Dakota people. It is important to acknowledge the peoples on whose land we live, learn, and work as we seek to strengthen our relations with our tribal nations. We recognize that it is our responsibility to ensure that our institution provides support, resources, and programs that increase access to all aspects of higher education for our American Indian students, staff, faculty, and community members.
