Nominating a peer for an alumni award is a meaningful way to recognize and celebrate their achievements and contributions. Highlighting your peer's hard work, dedication, and accomplishments, gives them the recognition they deserve and also fosters a sense of pride and unity within the alumni network, strengthening connections and relationships.

When you volunteer to become a board member you are helping to make an impact on current physical therapy students, have the opportunity to network with other alumni, and connect directly with the PT program.
Our Alumni Board Members serve as representatives of the alumni community, working to foster a strong relationship between alumni and the institution. This role involves participating in board meetings, contributing to strategic planning, supporting alumni events, and promoting the institution's mission and goals. The board meets virtually four times a year. You do not need to be local to join.
