Cheers to Our SOHP Champs: Celebrating Passion, Care, and Excellence All October

By Office of Communications & Marketing | Oct 1, 2025

October is a special month at the School of Health Professions (SOHP) as we celebrate several of our outstanding programs and the incredible faculty, staff, and students who drive them. Their dedication, passion, and the life-changing work they do every day deserve recognition.

Medical Ultrasound Awareness Month brings our Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program into sharp focus. Sonography, a rapidly growing field, plays a crucial role in diagnosing conditions ranging from heart disease to musculoskeletal issues. We are thankful for our sonographers and their vital contributions to patient care.

During Physical Therapy Month, we applaud our physical therapists, who restore movement, relieve pain, and enhance the quality of life for people of all ages. Their dedication to recovery and wellness is central to our healthcare mission.

From October 5-11, we celebrate Midwifery Recognition Week, honoring the exceptional midwives who deliver holistic, patient-centered care throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond. Their compassionate work enhances public health and empowers families.

From October 6-12, we observe Physician Assistant Week, recognizing the essential role Physician Assistants (PAs) play in our healthcare system. Collaborating with physicians, PAs diagnose, treat, and provide compassionate care that leaves a lasting impact on patient well-being.

We are proud of our SOHP programs every day; however, October gives us a special opportunity to honor our sonographers, physical therapists, midwives, and physician assistants, as they truly make our School of Health Professions shine!

Join us in celebrating our amazing SOHP professionals!
