From the tried and true of the Dunkin drive thru to the finest of home brewed, we love our coffee! The content of our cups may range from plain black to 3 pumps of pumpkin spice extra whip and caramel drizzle, but it all gets the job done! #MCPHSLibraries #library #nationalcoffeeday

World Pharmacists Day is celebrated annually on September 25 to recognize the crucial role that pharmacists play in building healthier communities everywhere. We're going back to the early 1980's with this photo to celebrate both #worldpharmacistsday and #flashbackfriday!
Photo of two pharmacy students, one male and one female, in the 1980's, both wearing lab coats and looking at the camera smiling.  The female is sitting at a table with a microscope and the male is standing behind her.
