ASP Last Call for Membership (P-1,2,3,): Last Call for ASP Membership (P-1,2,3): Due to this past weekend's technical difficulties with the APhA Website, many students were unable to register for new, renewal, and reinstated memberships before the deadline. Therefore, the Academy of Student Pharmacists (ASP) has extended the membership deadline to Friday, October 6th at 1pm. This will allow students the opportunity to either register online at www.aphanet.org or complete a Student Enrollment Form. Brian Lawson will be available on Thursday, October 5th and Friday, October 6th from 12 noon to 1pm at a table outside the HSC Bookstore to help expedite the membership registration process. At this "ASP Membership Booth," extra Student Enrollment Forms will be on hand for those students who need one, so bring your check or credit card information. ASP chapter officers apologize for any inconveniences you might have experienced. It is our hope you will continue to support APhA and ASP through participation in our nationally and regionally recognized patient care, political action, and community service projects. If you have any questions, please contact Brian Lawson (blawson@sole.wvu.edu).
