Shoutout to our very own Dr. Kankam, Devin (2nd year), and Rodga (1st year) for spending their Wednesday evening celebrating Global Running Day with a few miles and a lot of fun.

Great job representing the program and getting those miles in! 👏💙

That’s a wrap for the Spring 2026 semester! Before we all dive into our few weeks of break, we wanted to say a HUGE thank you to Dr. Kymm Sherman Lee, PT, DPT, MSPT, CASI for sharing her time, knowledge, and of course, her amazing therapy dogs with our students - definitely the best (and fluffiest) guest lecturers we’ve had all semester!

Great work to our first-year students for finishing the semester strong with their therapeutic modality presentations!
