Today was Orientation Day for our incoming cohort!

The Class of 2028 is officially up and running, and in just a few short days, they’ll begin their first core program courses! We spent the day talking about what the next two years will look like, touring the spaces that will soon feel like home, and getting to know the place where they’ll spend so much of their time.

One of the best parts of the day was giving our incoming students the opportunity to connect with the Class of 2027. Our seniors shared what they can expect during their junior year—from first respiratory courses and clinical experiences to everything in between. We’re so grateful for their insight and encouragement!

We are incredibly excited for all that’s ahead for the Class of 2028 and can’t wait to officially welcome them to the semester! 🐏

See you all soon! Enjoy these last few weeks of summer break! ☀️📚
