What Is the CPFI National Student Council?

The National Student Council (NSC) is made up of the Chairperson, Assistant Chairperson, National Student Retreat Coordinator, 9 Regional Directors, and a Student Council Representative from each chapter.  One central goal of NSC is to be a catalyst for communication.  This is done in several ways:

  • The National Student Council Newsletter:  This quarterly newsletter is packed with important information and ideas from chapters across the country.  It will have updates on upcoming events, such as the National Student Council Retreat or the Global Health Missions Conference.  It also provides information on nation-wide projects such as Operation Christmas Child as well as innovative ideas that chapters have pursued.
  • Managing the Regions:  Currently, we are searching for student volunteers to fill all of the Regional Director positions.  Regional Directors are similar to the Chairperson, but they are able to be more hands-on by planning regional retreats or region-wide socials and service projects.  To apply to be the Director of your Region, click here.
  • Student Representation:  NSC represents students at CPFI Board of Directors meetings.
  • National Student Council Representatives:  If we need to contact a chapter directly, the NSC Representative is the first person we contact.  The Representative should also communicate information from the newsletter to other members of the chapter in case all of the chapter members to not have CPFI National membership.  They are also in charge of submitting the update form.  One current goal is to hold an online meeting for all NSC Representatives each semester.

The positions of NSC Chairperson, Assistant Chairperson, and National Student Retreat Coordinator are elected at the annual meeting each year.  Regional Directors are chosen through the online application, and NSC Representatives are elected by the chapters.  Even if you do not hold one of these positions, you can still be involved at the national level.  If you would like to help with the newsletter or other projects, or if you have an idea for CPFI to pursue, you can always contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Beyond the Student Chapter

 

There are many great things happening in CPFI chapters across the country.  Unfortunately, several members will graduate without having the experience of CPFI outside of their chapter.  While Regional and National Retreats are a wonderful way to do this, it is not always feasible for students to attend.  Still, we hope that you will continue to be a member of CPFI after you graduate.  In addition to the continuing education and missions opportunities that CPFI provides, the value of the fellowship is unmatchable.  The love and support that members have for one another can only be described by the unity we find first in Christ, then in pharmacy.  While you will soon be leaving the fellowship at your school, those opportunities will still exist with CPFI.
