Mimi Pezzuto “This is one way we try to give back to our community, but also a way we try to spark interest in science at a young age. I am hoping that some of these budding chemists will be my future pharmacy students.”

Inouye College of Pharmacy visit to Keaukaha Elementary School on April 11. Faculty member Mimi Pezzuto takes her first-year students from laboratory to local schools at least once a semester. On this day, the class learned how to make their own scented lotions.
