Second-year AT students Sophia , Nate , Emily , Grace , & Angela got a quick pic with Provost Stein and President Cornish at the 2025 Graduate Student Welcome (& Welcome Back) Ceremony . While only a few of our AT students were able to take part in the activity – they were all scheduled for clinical rotations or assisting with Pre-Participation Exams – luckily, these students were able to step out for a moment for some food & networking!
