We are proud to celebrate our students from the University of Findlay Doctor of Physical Therapy program who were recognized at the annual Symposium for Scholarship and Creativity this past Friday.

👏 Sarah Reinhart, DPT student, was honored with the prestigious Founders’ Award for 2026—a university-wide recognition awarded to students who exemplify excellence in scholarship, leadership, service, and integrity. This award reflects the very best of what it means to be an Oiler.

What an incredible weekend at the APTA Combined Section Meeting in Anaheim, CA! ☀️🌴

The University of Findlay Doctor of Physical Therapy program was proud to have an exhibitor table at this year’s conference, and our students and faculty did an outstanding job representing UF. They spent the weekend connecting with potential students, networking with other programs, and sharing what makes our DPT program so special.

We’re also excited to celebrate a HUGE win — our UF DPT students brought home the NPTE Final Frontier Cup Trophy this year! 🏆🚀
Shout out to Zach Z., Bob D., and Ky P. for your incredible performance. We are so proud of you!

From research presentations and innovative projects to even taking home trivia wins, the University of Findlay truly showed up and showed out. A big thank you to all of our UF alumni, students, and faculty who volunteered their time at the booth — your energy and enthusiasm made all the difference.

What a fantastic week of learning, networking, and celebrating our profession!
