National Projects
1st National Project
Kappa Epsilon adopted Breast Cancer Awareness as a national project in memory of Linda Rodgers, who developed breast cancer during her term as Grand Council President from 1981-84. Later that year, Linda died of breast cancer. This dynamic woman, whose motto was “Do it till they tell you, you can't,” influenced many people during her lifetime.
Each year since, KE Members have helped raise awareness through professional projects and service activities. Projects have included participating in Breast Cancer Awareness walks and runs, fundraising through raffles and community activities, donate goodie baskets to breast cancer survivors and participate in health fairs and awareness programs.
2nd National Project
The Pharmacy Career Opportunity Recruitment Project (Pharm-CORP) Program encourages Kappa Epsilon members to provide presentations to local high school students to encourage them to consider pursuing an advanced degree and introduce a career in pharmacy. The goal of this project is to encourage students to start planning for their careers by attending the necessary classes, researching the admissions requirements for colleges of pharmacy and learning about the various opportunities available for pharmacists.
