Friends:
As in most academic communities, things slow down just a bit during the summer months. But, as the fall academic semester approaches us in less than a month, the wonderful stories about the great things our students, faculty and staff do on a daily basis start to flood in.
The message below is from Dr. Bill Rogers, a cardiologist at UAB who is extensively involved with medical missions. Dr. Rogers has been a champion for pharmacist involvement in medical mission trips and has involved MSOP students and faculty members for several years now. On this most recent trip to Peru, Dr. Tim Covington (a former MSOP faculty member) joined his team with our students.
I invite you to read Dr. Rogers post below and view the photo carousel.

"Charlie:
Thanks again for allowing us to recruit Peru mission volunteers from among the Samford Pharmacy student body! We really enjoyed having Justin Moore, Joni Morgan, and Simone Spellen with us this year! All of them did a great job, under the leadership of Tim Covington. Unfortunately, Clint Stephens was unable to make the trip.

I hope that we can continue to recruit from Samford on future trips. I wonder if it would also be possible to recruit from some of the other schools--perhaps nursing and nutrition?
Best regards,
Bill

Let us hear from you if you are interested in joining Dr. Rogers and our students on an upcoming mission trip!
