The Class of 2023 finished out their didactic pharmacy education in style with the second annual MUSC College of Pharmacy Pinning Ceremony, held April 8 in the Drug Discovery Building Room 110. 

The Pinning Ceremony marks a significant transition in the life of a student pharmacist. After three years of learning focused primarily in labs and classrooms, fourth-year students embark on a curriculum of experiential education.

Pinning ceremonies were not widely common until relatively recently. The college decided to start its own pinning tradition last year to give a moment of in-person unity to a P3 class that had part of its academic career conducted remotely. It proved popular enough for the college to embrace the ritual as a good opportunity seized.
