Marlon Baranda Inducted into Gamma Pi Chapter of Phi Lambda Sigma

2013 May 20

Marlon Baranda of Roseville, Mich., was one of 24 students and faculty inducted into the Gamma Pi Chapter of Phi Lambda Sigma, the national pharmacy leadership society, during a formal ceremony at Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED) May 8.

Baranda is a fourth-year pharmacy student in the College of Pharmacy at NEOMED. Baranda is a graduate of Roseville High School.

Phi Lambda Sigma promotes the development of leadership qualities, especially among pharmacy students, and members are selected by peer recognition. Such recognition instills and enhances self-confidence, encourages students to take more active roles and promotes greater effort toward the advancement of pharmacy.

Phi Lambda Sigma encourages participation in all pharmacy activities and as membership crosses fraternal and organizational lines, the society does not compete with other pharmacy organizations.
