White coat ceremony marked a milestone our students will never forget - receiving their white coats from the faculty advisors who have guided, challenged, and supported them throughout this journey.

The moment became even more meaningful as each coat was lovingly donned by someone who helped them get here.

This ceremony represents more than a new coat; it symbolizes dedication, compassion, and the beginning of a lifelong commitment to caring for others. We are so proud of each and every student as they take this next step forward.

From student to Physical Therapists. 💜💚

The white coat represents more than entering a profession - it symbolizes compassion, responsibility, lifelong learning, and the trust patients place in us. Receiving this coat marks the beginning of a journey dedicated to healing, advocacy, and serving others with empathy and integrity.

So proud of our Class of 2026

The future is brighter because of each of you.
