The School of Pharmacy will host its annual Senior Pharmacy Student Career Placement Day and Undergraduate Pharmacy Student Career Information Fair today from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Lawrence Holiday Inn Holidome, 200 McDonald Drive.
Forty-two employers from across the nation, including Walgreens and the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., will be searching to hire pharmacists and summer interns.

Pharmacy students have the chance to network with employers at a career fair.
“They’re all going to get multiple job offers,” said Gene Hotchkiss, associate dean of the School of Pharmacy. “There is a huge shortage of pharmacists.”
Approximately 80 Spring 2009 doctor of pharmacy candidates and 100 undergraduate students are expected to attend the job fair. Jobs are available in hospitals, nuclear pharmacies, the pharmaceutical industry, retail chain pharmacies and independent pharmacies.
“There are more openings than there are graduates,” Hotchkiss said.
Hotchkiss said twenty percent of the graduating class was pursuing postgraduate education and many of those graduates would be able to finish their education with residency training opportunities.
