Student Organization
The Student Physical Therapy Association (SPTA) is an educational organization that will work together to volunteer our time to the community, take part in continuing education opportunities outside the classroom, represent our physical therapy profession, and act with honor, integrity, and respect in all our endeavors.
Mission Trips
Mission trips are typically offered throughout the academic year as service-learning and volunteer-based experiences, contingent upon global travel conditions and the safety and accessibility of the destination region. Students are encouraged to participate during their 2nd or 3rd year of the curriculum.
