Pharmacy Tech students had an incredible hands-on experience during their field trip to VCU’s School of Pharmacy! 💊🧪 Students explored both non-sterile and sterile compounding labs—creating their own lip balm and even practicing the compounding of simulation chemotherapy medications in a sterile environment. This real-world experience gave them a deeper understanding of the skills and precision required in the pharmacy field. Thank you to VCU for providing such an engaging and educational opportunity!

Our Public Safety Telecommunications students wrapped up a powerful class project where each student shared how they relieve stress 💛

From baking and reading to walking in the sunshine, slime making, and even writing worries on a plate and smashing it — every presentation showed a different way to cope and recharge.

Students loved learning from each other and realizing how important stress management is, especially in a high-pressure career like 911 dispatch. We are so proud of the thoughtful work they put into this project! 💙🚨
