Students Thrives Through Hybrid-Learning
Meet Jarrod, a student inspired by his mother's injury to become a physical therapist.

Jarrod enjoys the on-campus program sessions, which allow him to build on the skills he has learned. “It’s a good experience. It’s intense, but it’s something we all look forward to,” he said.
