Cheers to the Class of May of 2026!🎓🎉

This weekend we celebrated an incredible group of future physical therapists and all they’ve accomplished along the way.

A special congratulations to Julia Johnson, who made history as the first DPT student selected as the commencement speaker for the College of Health Sciences — an honor that reflects the leadership, passion, and excellence of this graduating class.

Yesterday, the URI DPT Class of December 2026 celebrated a major milestone as they received their white coats and presented the research projects they’ve dedicated the past two years to developing.

As they close this chapter of classroom learning, they now step into full-time clinical education.

With a strong foundation behind them, these future clinicians are ready to take the next step in their journey and put their hard work into action 🥼
