University of Puget Sound DPT Program

“Find your grounding phrase, the words that remind you who you are beneath all of the noise.” ♥️🤍

Ian Antonio was selected to be the graduate student speaker at the 2026 University of Puget Sound Commencement Ceremony. He gave a wonderful speech titled, “Grounded: Choosing How We Show Up, Ready for What’s Next”.

Ian reminds us that while we can’t control every moment, we can choose how we show up—for our patients, our communities, and each other. Once again, congratulations to our Class of 2026!

Today we celebrate the resilience, dedication, and accomplishments of the Puget Sound DPT Class of 2026 🎓❤️

Over the past years, you have grown as clinicians, leaders, advocates, and teammates — meeting every challenge with compassion and determination. Your commitment to improving the lives of others through movement and care inspires us all.

Congratulations, Class of 2026! We can’t wait to see the impact you will make in the profession and the communities you serve.
