🧠 "Are you normalizing support?"

That question challenged pharmacy educators to think differently during today's #PharmEd26 Opening General Session.

In his keynote, Dr. Alexander Morris-Wood (@franklinacademy_ct) encouraged attendees to move beyond asking students to adapt to existing systems, and instead consider how learning environments can be designed to better support the many ways people learn.

💬 "Truthfully, we all learn differently. There are many of you right here that are probably miserable that you're watching something on a screen," he joked. "And some of you are pretty maybe a little bit happy about it!"

From universal design for learning and multimodal teaching to reducing hidden barriers in assessment, the message was clear: when we create more inclusive learning experiences, everyone benefits.

💬 "Having to process information in a multimodal way could lead to a lot of different successes in and out of the classroom."

Beyond the keynote, AACP President Robin Zavod recognized individuals and institutions whose work continues to shape pharmacy education and improve communities. Congratulations to this year's honorees:

🏆 AACP Lifetime Achievement Award: Dr. Johnnie Early (@famupharmacy_1951)

🏆 AACP Distinguished Service Award: Dr. Gayle Brazeau (@marshallpharmd University)

🏆 Lawrence C. Weaver Transformative Community Service Award: @pittpharmacy

🏆 2026 Distinguished Teaching Scholars: Aleda M. H. Chen (@uamspharmacy), Denise H. Rhoney (@uncpharmacy) and Jenny A. Van Amburgh (@northeasternsopps)

The session also welcomed returning partner CVS Health, whose commitment to advancing pharmacy education helped kick off another inspiring Annual Meeting.

We're excited to carry these conversations—and this momentum—throughout #PharmEd26. What was your biggest takeaway from today's Opening General Session?
