Falconer is among three May 2021 graduates receiving the award for Outstanding Service to the Physical Therapy Program. Others include Clark Day PT ’21 and Kera Akiyama PT '21.

The doctor of physical therapy program prepares well-rounded candidates for certification and licensure as healthcare professionals who can deliver person-centered care.
