Community Connections

“I went on a lot of college visits,” says pre-pharmacy major Nick Buttermore. But something special drew him back to Manchester. “Everyone seemed very genuine and real,” says Nick, “and that was really awesome to experience.”

Community and relationships are important to Nick, so he chose a people-oriented career – pharmacy. “I wanted to be in something that would allow me to bring about change and help people.” The idea of getting an inside track to Manchester’s Doctor of Pharmacy Program also drew him in.
