2019 graduates together at Memorial Union terrace
Graduates in the School's Class of 2019 hold up the "W" in celebration at the Memorial Union Terrace.

This May brought many celebrations, awards, and smiling graduates. Across the University of Wisconsin–Madison School of Pharmacy’s PharmD, Pharmacology-Toxicology, and graduate programs, we ushered more than 100 new graduates into the next stage of their careers, whether that means pharmacy practice, research, academia, or the pursuit of another degree. 

In addition to the state of Wisconsin gaining a new group of world-class pharmacists and researchers, the School of Pharmacy also added dozens of passionate professionals to our alumni network. Let’s take a photo tour of the weekend’s commencement events.
