Meet the College of Pharmacy Student Ambassadors
The College of Pharmacy student ambassadors represent NEOMED's commitment to professionalism and support for prospective students for the 2023-2024 academic year. These students are the face of the College, consistently upholding the highest standards of conduct. They actively engage in key pipeline programs, such as the Pre-Pharmacy Club and Discovery Days, where they provide information about our Pharm.D. program and help campus visitors understand why pharmacists are essential in health care. The student ambassadors also play a pivotal role in admission interview days, offering valuable insights and support to prospective students.

Student Ambassador Leaders
“Hello Everyone! My name is Pat Moldovan and I am a third-year pharmacy student. I completed my undergraduate studies at Youngstown State University, majoring in chemistry and minoring in biology. Other than the student ambassadors' program, I am involved as a student council member (NSC), a peer mentor, an early assurance advisor, vice regent of Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity Inc. and president of the Student National Pharmaceutical Association. As lead student ambassador, I am eager to show prospective students that pharmacy isn't just putting pills in a bottle; pharmacists have an active role in the patient care process and therapy optimization.” - Patrick Moldovan

I am a clinical pharmacy intern at Cleveland Clinic Main Campus and assistant pharmacy chief at NEOMED’s Student-Run Free Clinic. I am thrilled to be in this position where I am able to introduce prospective students to what it means to be a Walking Whale!” - Tailyn Houston
