Jennifer Crowley

UConn School of Pharmacy, Class of 2014

I was born in New Britain, Connecticut, and a few years later I moved to Southington where I was raised. During my first two years at UConn, I completed my minor in Spanish, and shortly after studied abroad in Spain. Ever since high school I have been an active volunteer in many community service clubs through both my school and my church. I have traveled to Mexico for mission trips multiple times, as well as to Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina. I am the Professional Chair for Alpha Zeta Omega Pharmaceutical Fraternity, an active member in the Student National Pharmaceutical Association, and an American Pharmacists Association member. I coordinate weekly visits to the Mansfield Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation through the Alpha Lambda Delta National Honor Society, and I also work with Spanish-speaking student at Windham Center Elementary School through the American Reads program every week. I sought involvement in UST to be able to positively impact the lives of a more diverse population of people than I have assisted in the past. For example, I have yet to working with vulnerable populations such as HIV/AIDs patients, refugees, or substance abusers. My experiences with UST will enable these populations to receive the healthcare and pharmaceutical assistance they need, and decrease the number of defenseless people in desperate need of care.
