While future paths may not be clearly defined for every student graduating in the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy’s (UMSOP) Master of Science in Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics (MCST) due to the nature of the rapidly emerging industry, one thing is clear, according to the Class of 2022’s student leader, Codi Peterson, PharmD, MS ’22.
“We are trailblazers of a nascent industry,” said Peterson, president of the Medical Cannabis Student Association, speaking at the class’ graduation convocation May 18 at the Universities at Shady Grove (USG) in Rockville, Md. “Here we are. We did it together, bravely, proudly — on Zoom. We are the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics Class of 2022. I can’t wait to see how we change the world.”
