Doctor of Physical Therapy - Walsh University

President’s Messagewe have concluded our 47th year of operations and have celebrated our44th annual graduation, and we did so in a spirit of joy and anticipation.it was our largest graduating class ever, nearly 500 students. yet this isnot an end, but merely our next phase. there is much on the horizon.We are adding a nursing lab, modernizing classrooms, building a parking lot, a trackand tennis courts, and finishing yet another residence hall. And that’s this summer!It is accurate to report progress in numbers and lists of achievements. This edition isfilled with them. Yet, there is a greater, intangible reality, more difficult to articulate,from which these statistics originate.That reality is God’s grace and blessings. We have tried to reflect this reality in thechapel. The large crucifix with the hand-hewn Jesus immediately fixes our gaze.We know that there can be no problem too big for us to bring here.The eyes of the icon, Our Lady of Perpetual Help, from behind the crucifix seem tofollow the viewer, telling us that she will hold us, too, as we walk with her Son.Walsh University is anindependent, coeducationalCatholic, Liberal Arts andSciences Institution.Founded by the Brothers ofChristian Instruction, WalshUniversity is dedicated toeducating its students tobecome leaders in serviceto others through a valuesbasededucation with aninternational perspective inthe Judeo-Christian tradition.At an early morning Mass, the sun streams through the window. Our Lady’s imagedisappears as the brilliant light pours into the chapel. It is an unforgettable visualmagnificat—she exists to proclaim the greatness of God.We ask for your prayers for the community that is Walsh—because we exist to bringGod’s light into a world that celebrates death more than life.Yes, we have much to do and to improve. Please keep us in your prayers, and help ushowever you can.Richard JusseaumePresident
