Pharmacy students win competition

SEARCY, Ark.—Three pharmacy students from Harding University achieved
victory at the Nonprescription Medication Academy’s annual Over the
Counter Competition.

The contest was associated with this year’s Arkansas Pharmacist
Association meeting on June 13. Janice McKean of Searcy, Crystal
Payton of Jonesboro, Ark., and Celia Proctor of Lead Hill, Ark., were
joined by pharmacists C.A. Kuykendall and Melissa Liddle.

The Harding team defeated contestants from the University of Arkansas
for Medical Sciences in the final round of the Jeopardy-style
competition. Their first place trophy, currently on display in the
Office of Student Affairs and Admissions, will remain at Harding until
next year’s competition.
