🎓 Congratulation to the ELOTD Class of 2026! 🎓

Yesterday was the culmination of 6+ years of hard work and dedication as the students presented their research during the OT Doctoral Capstone Conclave.

The students were acknowledged as doctors for the first time in public during a ceremony to celebrate their accomplishments prior to sharing their capstones with their families and friends, the faculty and staff of the University and the OT community.

Each student’s work was unique, impressive and truly impactful. They are living examples of not only the values of mercy, service, justice and hospitality but of everything the OT profession stands for.

Congratulations everyone! Now go out into the world and do great things. 🌎
