Pharmacy Orientation Programme

The Rocket Fuel Workshop, a one-day event tailored for pharmacy and pharmaceutical science freshmen, was an exhilarating journey to refresh their foundational knowledge in chemistry and biology. Guided by experienced seniors, the workshop aimed to reignite their passion for science and prepare them for the exciting academic year ahead. The day kicked off with two captivating lectures led by senior students who shared their expertise and real-world experiences. The chemistry lecture delved into the fundamental principles of pharmaceutical compounds, chemical reactions, and the intricacies of rocket fuel components. Simultaneously, the biology lecture explored the interplay between living organisms and pharmaceutical substances, showcasing the importance of understanding biological processes in drug development. To assess the students' grasp of the material, interactive quizzes were incorporated throughout the day. These quizzes encouraged active participation, stimulating critical thinking, and fostering a sense of healthy competition. One of the highlights of the workshop was the engaging group activity. Students were divided into teams, sparking camaraderie and teamwork. They collaboratively analyzed complex scenarios and answered thought-provoking questions related to rocket fuel components and their applications in the pharmaceutical field. This group exercise not only reinforced their comprehension but also cultivated problem-solving skills and communication abilities. By the end of the Rocket Fuel Workshop, the freshmen emerged invigorated, equipped with refreshed knowledge, and inspired to tackle the challenges of their academic journey with renewed enthusiasm. The event not only enhanced their understanding of essential chemistry and biology concepts but also fostered a sense of belonging within the pharmaceutical science community, paving the way for a successful and fulfilling college experience.
