HISTORY

The year was 1998 when a group of Pharmacy students felt the need for the college to have its own student publication. They collectively proposed to the dean that they would be allowed to form an organization that would cater to the students’ thirst for journalism. The founding members gave the students of the college the freedom to name the student publication. Thus, a “name-the-org” contest was held. Several names were suggested but the name, “pharmakon”, which is the greek word for “drug”, was voted by the majority of CP constituents. Hence, The Pharmakon was born.
