Megan Mitchell

UConn School of Pharmacy, Class of 2017

I grew up in Longmeadow MA, a suburban town just outside of Springfield MA. I moved to Connecticut as a freshman in high school and attended high school in the town of Somers, CT.

I became interested in joining UST after having been involved with organizations in the UConn School of Pharmacy like the Student National Pharmaceutical Associate and Lambda Kappa Sigma, which gave me first-hand experience with serving our state’s underserved populations. I also had the opportunity to be a counselor and eventual director of a Summer Day Camp that is held locally in my town. This opportunity allowed me to become much more aware of how a program focused on interdisciplinary teamwork and service would be a great way for me to affect my community and help those who are less fortunate than myself.
