Congratulations to the Doctor of Psychology Classes of 2027 and 2030! 🎉

Last week on our Atlanta campus, we celebrated two meaningful milestones for our PsyD students. We proudly honored the Class of 2030 during their White Coat Ceremony, marking the beginning of their journey toward compassionate care, clinical excellence, and lifelong learning. We also celebrated the Class of 2027 and their internship matches as they take the next exciting step in their professional training.

These milestones represent both the start of an important journey and the continuation of one shaped by purpose, dedication, and a deep commitment to serving others. We are incredibly proud of our PsyD students, who continue to embody the qualities of future healthcare leaders: thoughtful, driven, compassionate, and committed to making a meaningful impact in their communities.

We look forward to all that these future clinical psychologists will accomplish!
