Each year the College of Pharmacy wishes to acknowledge the exceptional academic and
research accomplishments achieved by graduating doctoral students in the College of
Pharmacy.
Doctoral students who have earned their Ph.D. within a given academic year are automatically
eligible for the Outstanding Graduate Student Award. The award will be given at the
end of the Spring semester at the College of Pharmacy Awards Ceremony. Students who
have graduated in the preceding Fall semester and have left ULM are still eligible
to receive this award.
Eligible candidates for this award will be evaluated based on their academic and research
performance during their doctoral training at ULM College of Pharmacy. The Graduate
Studies Committee in the College of Pharmacy will be responsible for evaluating the
candidates and selecting the most deserving winner of the award. Winners of the award
will be given an award plaque.
