On behalf of the School of Physiotherapy faculty, staff and clinician preceptor community, I would like to extend our congratulations to the class of 2026. To the donors who support our graduation awards, thank you for recognizing the strengths and passion in our PT student class. To the select students recognized in this year's convocation awards, congratulations on your achievements. 

~Dr. Derek Rutherford, School Director

Congratulations to my classmates on this huge accomplishment! It can be easy and exciting to move forward in our careers and next phases of life, but don't forget to take some time to appreciate this moment and milestone. The younger versions of us who dreamed of this day would be so proud! I'm so incrdibly grateful to have met and shared this experience with you all. I have no doubt the world of physiotherapy is about to get so much brighter thanks to the care and passion each person has for this field. Ifeel lucky to get to call you all colleagues now instead of classmates and wish you success and joy in your careers as Physiotherapists. 

See you at our first reunion! 

~Alyssa Walsh, Student Society President, Class of 2026
