Pharmacy students Tyson Fredriksen (’16) and Kyle Hedquist (’18) have been elected to regional offices with the Northeast Province of Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity, Inc. At the Spring 2016 Assembly, held April 8-10 in Bangor, Maine, Fredriksen was named to the position of vice-satrap (regional vice-president) and Hedquist was elected as chaplain.

At the conclusion of the weekend, Fredriksen and Analesa Muir (’16) completed their service with the 2015-16 Northeast Province Executive Committee in the offices of chaplain and secretary, respectively.

As chaplain, Hedquist will be responsible for the philanthropy of the Northeast province. Fredriksen, the outgoing chaplain, helped organize fundraisers for “The Smile Train,” an organization that provides cleft lip and palate surgeries to children around the world. This year as Vice-Satrap, Fredriksen will be working closely with the Satrap (president) to assist with the planning and running of biannual meetings. Upon graduation, he will be staying in-state to work at Rite Aid in Maine’s central district.

In her position as secretary, Muir has worked as a liaison between the Northeast province colleges and universities and the executive board. At the province-wide meetings, she has overseen voting, recorded minutes and dispersed information to the province. After graduation, she will be returning to her hometown of Derby Line, Vermont to work as a staff pharmacist at Kinney Drugs.
