The Student National Pharmaceutical Association (SNPhA) is an educational service association of pharmacy students who are concerned about pharmacy and healthcare related issues, and the poor minority representation in pharmacy and other health-related professions. The Harrison College of Pharmacy has SNPhA chapters on both its Auburn and Mobile campuses.

The purpose of SNPhA is to plan, organize, coordinate and execute programs geared toward the improvement for the health, educational, and social environment of the community.

SNPhA meets monthly and offers programs of interest to student pharmacists. Student members have the opportunity to develop leadership and professional skills within our organization. SNPhA strives to educate students about and promote active participation in national health care issues. We offer a variety of active committees provide students opportunities to become more involved in the organization and the profession. These committees include:

Operation Immunization: This program is an immunization awareness campaign designed to increase the public's knowledge about immunizations, while increasing the number of adults who receive immunizations
Legislative/Membership Benefits: This is a dual initiative focusing on voting registration among underrepresented minorities and on immigration issues affecting the nation
Chronic Kidney Disease: SNPhA and Abbott Renal Care are collaborating on a new initiative to increase awareness on the risk factors and disease states that can lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD)
Diabetes: SNPhA has accepted the challenge to educate patients on disease state management, lifestyle modifications, medication therapy, and monitoring related to Diabetes
Power to End Stroke: SNPhA has partnered with the American Stroke Association (ASA) on the Power to End Stroke/Smoking Cessation initiative
Remember the Ribbon: National HIV/AIDS Initiative is aimed at towards promoting awareness, education, and prevention of HIV/AIDS within minority populations
