CAPSI/TILAK Awards 2011
CAPSI and Tilak Technologies sponsor an annual award for CAPSI members. This award recognizes a pharmacy student who demonstrates a high degree of professionalism in pharmacy.
Any of the following demonstrates contribution to pharmacy professionalism:
- displaying initiative in trying to promote pharmacy as a profession
- willing to actively participate in events for the benefit of others - demonstrating leadership skills
- showing interest and involvement in any number of events/activities (from fundraising, volunteering, working to increase awareness around community about pharmacy and pharmacy students)
- showing initiative in developing a new concept, activity, or fundraiser
A. Award Eligibility
- Only CAPSI members are eligible for this award.
- Under recognized students will be given preference
- The present local executive council and members of national council are not eligible for the award (including the Sr. and Jr. rep). However, if someone has previously been on council but is not on either council during the year that they are nominated, they are eligible to receive the award.
B. Criteria
The most important attributes for the successful candidates would include:
- Impact and initiative in professional activities
- Dignity of character
- Creation of new programs
- Promotion of pharmacy
- Dedication to a worthy cause
- Pattern of professionalism
- Role model for colleagues
The consideration of each criterion will be based on the impact made outside of school activities, with participation in Clubs (CAPSI, PhUS, Kappa Psi, or Lambda Kappa Sigma, etc.) CAPSI activities are an asset and will be a secondary consideration. However, CLUB CAPSI involvement will be considered as CAPSI executives record attendance at CAPSI events including but not limited to CAPSI competitions, volunteering for CAPSI community education, PDW, etc.
