Education occurs at many institutions across the world. But at AU, the opportunity to intertwine education with faith is a privilege. I’m excited to be at this institution to facilitate the knowledge and skills of young physical therapy majors with the foundation of Christian values.
The field of physical therapy continues to evolve and grow with numerous opportunities for students in various specialty areas.
