Alumni Spotlight

Mark Szarszewski RPh ’97
Senior Patient Safety Specialist

What are you most proud of regarding your career?
I am most proud of my time working fresh out of college in an independent pharmacy working to service the needs of an impoverished community. I have built many strong bonds with the patients and we all learned to live, laugh and love together.

How was your RU Pharmacy experience foundational in where you are today?
The lessons I learned from RU have made me the mountain of a man I am today. The principles of integrity, honesty and passion are all things I have gained from my RU experience.

Are there any passion projects you’d like to share with other alums?
Collaborating with my two college best friends and fellow Rutgers alumni, Brian and Jessica about the best ways to bring improved patient outcomes to our respective communities.
