💪 Our Pro Bono Physical Therapy Program is in full swing!
Twice a week, students meet at the Koehler Fitness Complex for 30–45 minute sessions designed to help them learn, grow, and give back.

Over 8 weeks, participants receive personalized care from our DPT students and supervision of licensed physical therapist faculty.

It’s hands-on learning that benefits everyone — our students, faculty, staff, and community. 🧡🖤
