WSU Kappa Psi chapter attends Great Lakes Province Assembly
Wayne State University’s Mu Omicron Pi chapter of Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity is sending a delegation of brothers to attend the 2022 Great Lakes Province Spring Assembly, led by Regent Noah Trotter.
The annual event, which will be held this weekend in Cleveland, gathers Kappa Psi chapters from the region to celebrate the fraternity’s cornerstones of Industry, Fellowship, Sobriety and High Ideals. The assembly will also hold educational workshops geared toward leadership development and education in pharmacy practice.
During the Kappa Psi Great Lakes Province Fall Assembly last semester, Wayne State’s Mu Omicron Pi chapter took home several awards, including the Attendance and Best Chapter Report awards. Brother Steven Conway was honored with the Kappa Psi Dedication Award for his achievements in academic performance, pharmacy leadership and exemplifying fraternity ideals. Brother Joseph Paul Javier was granted the Kappa Psi Community Advancement of the Profession of Pharmacy Award for his efforts vaccinating medically underserved communities and work guiding health care policy as a legislative intern for the Michigan House of Representatives to lower the cost of life-saving prescription medications.
At the national level, Mu Omicron Pi was also presented with the highly sought-after Kappa Psi Service Grant Award for the opioid epidemic initiative spearheaded by Brother Obioma Opara. The chapter aims to raise awareness about opioid abuse disorder, decrease its stigma, and educate Wayne State University’s pharmacy and health science students in the use of naloxone rescue kits.
Kappa Psi is the oldest and largest pharmacy fraternity in the world, with more than 6,000 student members and over 87,000 alumni members. Kappa Psi’s mission is to develop leaders with a passion for service to their community while creating lifelong professional connections.
