Our study hopes to identify the strengths, challenges, and ideas to continue and avoid in the future for student organizations in the college of pharmacy. The purpose of this study is to analyze how COVID-19 affected student pharmacy organizations in one college of pharmacy. Using the evidence gathered, it will be determined how organizations were impacted, ideas that can be implemented going forward, and overall students' perceptions on student organization involvement and engagement.
