First-Year Liaison

Roles and responsibilities of the First-Year Liaisons include but are not limited to:

• Serving as the collective voice of the first year class and maintaining two-way communication with the class in regard to APhA-ASP.

• Regularly informing fellow P1s of pertinent APhA-ASP updates, happenings, and involvement opportunities.

• Shadowing other chapter student leaders to learn more about the operations and governance of the organization.

• Assisting with the planning of at least one event throughout the year, to be identified by the Chapter President and/or Vice President of Patient Care.

In addition to the roles listed above, the FYLs are expected to actively engage in the organization by attending General Body Meetings and other events as availability reasonably permits. FYL attendance is also requested at our chapter’s monthly Executive Board Meetings.

Historically, FYLs have used this position as a springboard into future leadership positions within UGA APhA-ASP, with many going on to serve as Presidents and Vice Presidents of our chapter. By providing early exposure to chapter leadership, mentorship, and meaningful involvement, the FYL position helps prepare engaged pharmacy students to take on continued leadership roles at UGA and beyond.

If you are interested in this position, please submit the application above by Sunday, August 23rd at 11:59pm. After reviewing applications, the Executive Board will invite selected candidates to schedule a 15-minute interview. Candidates will be notified of final decisions by Monday, August 31st, and the selected candidates will be announced on Tuesday, September 1st during Org Hour.

For questions about the application, position, or interview process, please contact President Cassie Rich.
