159 students,
90	percent	with		 undergraduate	degrees,	 took	their	first	steps		 to	becoming	pharmacists	when		 they	were	presented	with		 their	official	white	coats.		 The	inductees	also	pledged	a		 professional	oath	during		 the	ceremony.	

Trick-or-Treat
From	Austin	Powers	to	Pocahontas	and	Tinker	Bell,	13	costumed	University		 of	Colorado	School	of	Pharmacy	students	brought	hours	of	ghoulish	fun		 to	hospitalized	children	and	their	families	at	The	Children’s	Hospital.	
Providing	lessons	in	face	painting,	as	well	as	bat,	cat	and	pumpkin	making	crafts,	student	 members	of	the	Colorado	Student	Society	of	Health-System	Pharmacists	(CSSHP)	hosted	 an	evening	of	arts	and	crafts,	Oct.	20,	for	sick	kids	and	their	siblings.	 One	of	several	community	events	that	students	organize	and		 participate	in,	the	Halloween	event	is	an	annual	tradition		 where	ghouls,	goblins	and	Martha	Stewart	wannabes		 get	a	chance	to	escape	the	hospital	setting	by	crafting		 to	their	heart’s	content.
