Trine University welcomed the Doctor of Physical Therapy program's Class of 2020 on Sept. 1 at the annual White Coat Ceremony held at the Health Sciences Education Center.
The fourth cohort in the Trine's DPT program, the group is Trine's largest DPT class, with 35 students. The students represent nine states (Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Utah) and include one international student, Jithmie Jayawickrema of Sri Lanka.
During the ceremony, each student is presented with a white coat symbolizing their entry into the physical therapy profession.
Two Trine University students — Chloe Laird, a chemical engineering major from Warsaw, Indiana, and Makenzie Amich, a forensic science major from Thorntown, Indiana — recently had the opportunity to connect with thousands of chemistry professionals and students from across the country at the American Chemical Society (ACS) national meeting in Chicago.
The Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society recently named Trine University pre-med biology student Lauren Hillin of Charlotte, North Carolina, its Foy-Sagabiel Undergraduate Scholar Leader of the Year.
Steuben County community members are invited to join Trine University students and alumni and local businesses for Breaking the Silence Together, the university's inaugural mental health walk, beginning at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26.
