For this episode, I talked with Alicia Hahn, director of Program Initiatives for the Office of Diversity and Community Relations, about the annual Opportunities Academy, a weeklong enrichment program for local high school students at each of PCOM’s three locations.

Alicia discusses the history and learning objectives of Opportunities Academy, how the program emphasizes mentoring and college readiness, and how PCOM student-mentors and faculty gain just as much out of the experience as the participants.  

For this episode, I sat down with Makeda Lovelace (PharmD ’25) and Andrew Wilson (PharmD ’24) from PCOM Georgia.
