About Us
Sit with Senate is a multimedia initiative curated by members of the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy Student Senate. Founded in 2018, our mission is to showcase student accomplishments, school organizations, research endeavors, faculty achievements and much more, through the perspective of current students. Additionally, we serve as marketing and communication liaisons between Senate, the student body, and the entire pharmacy community. Our mission is to use multimedia platforms to forge connections and create a sense of unity in a time when physical closeness is difficult to achieve.
