Alum spotlight! When Emily Messing, PharmD ’17, began considering a career in pharmacy, she imagined herself working behind the counter of a neighborhood drugstore, much like the independent pharmacy where she first interned as a teenager.

Today, she helps safeguard cancer patients on a much larger scale as a medication safety officer at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. Her journey, she says, was shaped by exploration, mentorship and an unexpected discovery at the Touro College of Pharmacy (TCOP).

Learn more about Emily's impressive career journey, her current role at Dana-Farber, and why she credits Touro for her success.

Graduation marks the end of pharmacy school, but for many Touro College of Pharmacy (TCOP) alumni, it isn't the end of their education!

Instead, many spend another year in residency, joining medical teams in hospitals and health systems where they round with physicians, evaluate medication regimens, conduct research and take on increasing responsibility for patient care.

Learn more about some of our recent TCOP grads and alumni and the residencies they are pursuing at hospitals and health systems across the country.

Student spotlight! Meet Rebecca Donnelly, a second-year student in Touro’s Doctor of Physical Therapy (PT) program, who volunteers with Transportation Resources Access (TRA), a nonprofit that provides free rides to adults over 65 with functional limitations and adults over 21 with visual impairments.

Rebecca's passengers have included older adults receiving dialysis and people living with lupus, chronic illnesses and mobility limitations. The work overlaps with skills she is developing as a physical therapy student.

“These are movements I may be helping patients with in the future. I’m learning how to work with people who use assistive devices and need help getting out of the house or into the car," Rebecca says.

Learn more about how Rebecca's volunteer work is preparing her for her future in PT.

Alum spotlight! As Principal of P.S. 272 in Canarsie, Brooklyn, Touro Graduate School of Education alum (class of '07) Verna Taylor leads a school community of more than 320 students.

Taylor's journey to a career as an educator began early. She comes from a family of educators, and by high school she was participating in a co-op program at a District 75 school, working directly with students.

Those experiences led her to Touro, where she pursued dual certification in general and special education. While balancing graduate coursework and preparing for motherhood, she relied on the encouragement of faculty members who believed she would succeed.

Learn more about Taylor's current role and how Touro continues to influence how she works with students, staff, and families.
