We were honored to celebrate our 2025 MSOT, OTD, PP-OTD and PhD graduates at our 107th Commencement at Graham Chapel yesterday. “The truth is the future leaders of healthcare are sitting in this room. You are each other’s future colleagues and collaborators. Stay close with one another. Lean on each other. Because when the big challenges come, and they will, you won’t get through it on grit alone. It’s unity that becomes the foundation for true resilience,” said alumna Sarah Adam, OTD, MSOT ’16, OTR/L, CBIS, commencement speaker. We couldn’t be prouder of our graduates and all they will accomplish in their OT careers. Congratulations! WashU Alumni
