Ohio University's College of Health Sciences and Professions proudly announced its 2020 Outstanding Graduate Award recipients with a virtual recognition. Of the more than 8,500 students enrolled in the college, 36 individuals were virtually recognized with honors this year. "Our students, particularly our seniors, have displayed great resilience and continued dedication in the sweeping educational and life changes that have taken place because of COVID-19," said CHSP Dean Dr. Randy Leite. "Although CHSP had to cancel its annual Student and Faculty Awards this year due to the pandemic, it remained important to us to take the time to recognize the hard work and accomplishments of this year's graduating class." Recipients were recognized for their contributions and accomplishments during the 2019-20 year. Individual awards were given under the categories of "Outstanding Graduates" for each school or department as well as "Physical Therapy" and "Athletic Training." "I have no doubt that the Class of 2020 will depart OHIO and help change the world; many of them already have," Leite said. "Each of our graduates carries the discipline, courage and compassion to make the world a better, and healthier, place."
