The PA program welcomed its third cohort with an orientation and social prior to the start of the spring 2023 semester. Students learned more about the program, explored their learning space, and welcomed their loved ones to experience a “day in the life of a PA student.” We are incredibly excited to begin our journey with the Class of 2025!
