The College of Pharmacy treated its hardworking staff to a day at the movies for its annual Staff Appreciation Celebration. Staff, faculty, and College of Pharmacy retirees took a break from work and the summer heat in the Alamo Drafthouse to watch Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, eat candy, popcorn, and breakfast tacos, and visit with their colleagues.
