growth and moments of vulnerability, and how these experiences made him flourish and feel invigorated. He encouraged attendees to embrace meaningful risks and shared some ideas on how to start: Is there a conversation you need to have? Is there a person you need to pursue? Is there a sacrifice you need to make? Is there a project you need to start?<\/p><p>Following the lecture, alumni spanning from the class of &#8217;78 to recent graduates engaged in a lively game of human Bingo, fostering camaraderie over good food and wine.<\/p><p>The Pharmacy Alumni Group and Department are delighted by the evening&#8217;s success and eagerly anticipate future alumni
