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.
Golfers and sponsors at Trine University’s 36th annual Alumni and Friends Golf Outing contributed a record amount for student scholarships, raising $115,000 at the Aug. 7 event.
It may sound like all fun and games, but two Trine University faculty members gave academic presentations during North America’s largest board gaming convention.
What started as a hobby for Trine University graduate Ali Syed has blossomed into the sweet smell of success.
