College of Pharmacy Commencement

May 4, 2017 @ 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm

SPOKANE, Wash.—Tom Menighan, executive vice president and chief executive officer of the American Pharmacists Association (APhA), will be the keynote speaker at the commencement ceremony of the Washington State University College of Pharmacy, at the Martin Woldson Theater at the FOX.

The APhA is the nation’s largest professional association for pharmacists. The organization has been front and center in the initiative to see pharmacists recognized as health care providers, especially by insurance companies that routinely refuse to reimburse pharmacists for the growing number of services they provide. In 2015 legislation was passed in Washington requiring insurance carriers to recognize pharmacists in the same way as other providers, but not all states have this kind of legislation in place.

Menighan’s selection as the commencement speaker for pharmacy maintains the college’s practice to bring thought leaders to campus. Previous keynote speakers include former Surgeon General Richard Carmona, former FDA administrator Susan C. Winckler, and prior to that Rear Adm. Scott Giberson, a deputy surgeon general and pharmacist.

Please RSVP by April 13.    The Fox does not allow balloons, food or beverages into their theatre.
