Keeping with traditions of the health care profession, the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy (UMSOP) welcomed its first-year students to the pharmacy profession in a White Coat Ceremony on Sept. 23 at Leadership Hall on the University of Maryland, Baltimore campus.
The keynote address was delivered by Kun Yang, PharmD ’15, CEO and co-founder of Pricklee, a beverage startup in the consumer-packaged goods space. Yang, who once sat where the first-year student pharmacists sat, worked in multiple positions within the biotechnology industry before transitioning to entrepreneurship through Pricklee, which has been featured on the TV show Shark Tank.
