That's a wrap on our 2026 Summer Research Program!

For three weeks, more than 60 high school students joined Chapman University School of Pharmacy for an engaging introduction to the world of pharmacy research. Through hands-on learning, mentorship from faculty, and collaborative research activities, these students gained valuable insight into the many ways pharmacists and researchers improve patient care.

Working in small cohorts, students developed research projects and concluded the program by presenting their findings to peers, family members and the Chapman community.

Thank you to Dr. Montazeri, Mr. Mundy, and all of the dedicated faculty, staff and student volunteers from CUSP and across Chapman University who helped create such a meaningful experience.

We are proud to have welcomed these aspiring healthcare professionals to the Panther Family and can't wait to see where their journeys take them!
