The Purdue Pharmacy Education Program (PEP) is a residential summer orientation program designed to welcome first-generation or low-income students and is inclusive to all rising freshmen to Purdue during the summer months. This program offers them the opportunity to transition into college life. Students will take classes, engage with current pharmacy students and learn all about the Pharm Life.
