A Message from the Program Chair

As Chair of the Doctor of Physical Therapy Program, I am incredibly proud of our alumni and the contributions they make to the profession and the communities they serve. Watching our students develop into skilled, compassionate clinicians and respected colleagues is one of the most rewarding aspects of this profession. We invite you to remain connected with the program, share your experiences, celebrate your accomplishments, and help mentor future generations of physical therapists. Your continued engagement strengthens our community and helps ensure the success of those who follow in your footsteps.

 – Shelley DiCecco, PT, PhD, CLT-LANA
