We're to celebrate Alexcia Carr, Pharm.D., a standout graduate student in the Division of Health Outcomes, who has been selected as a Summer 2026 Graduate Archer Fellow through The Archer Center.

This summer, Alexcia will head to Washington, D.C. for an internship with the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America), as part of a cohort of UT System changemakers working across health policy, research, government and public service.

Alexcia's work reflects a deep commitment to improving health outcomes and medication access for underserved populations, building on her leadership in student organizations and her research in pharmacist well-being, telehealth and care for people experiencing homelessness. We can't wait to see the impact she'll make this summer and beyond.

Get to know our Summer 2026 Graduate Archer Fellows! This exceptional cohort of changemakers represents twelve academic and health institutions within The University of Texas System. This summer, they will pursue internships across a range of fields, including health policy, scientific research, conservation, education, social services, and government oversight. We know they’ll accomplish great things in our nation’s capital.

🎊 Reunion Weekend 2026 brought Texas Pharmacy alumni back to the Forty Acres for a memorable celebration of milestones, shared history and lasting connections across generations.

From campus tours and riverboat views to milestone dinners and a champagne toast honoring the Classes of 1976, 2001 and 2016, alumni spent the weekend reconnecting with classmates, faculty and the College.

"There's something incredibly special about being back on the Forty Acres, surrounded by people who all carry that same burnt orange pride… Seeing fellow Longhorn pharmacists reconnect so naturally was the most rewarding part," said Felicia Kasra DiLoreto (Class of 2016).
