Huntington University Arizona has announced the graduation of its second cohort from the Doctoral Program in Occupational Therapy.

This year, 17 students earned their Doctor of Occupational Therapy degrees, marking another significant achievement for the university, according to a news release.

“These graduates are well-prepared to serve the people of Arizona and beyond,” said Evelyn Andersson, outgoing OTD program director. “They are committed to enabling people to engage in the meaningful activities of daily life. Congratulations to the HU AZ OTD Class of 2024!”

The ceremony also celebrated Andersson’s legacy as the founding director of the Arizona OTD program. Under her leadership, the program launched successfully, received full accreditation and grew through the OTA/PTA to OTD bridge program. Her vision and dedication have been instrumental in shaping the program’s success, the release said.

“Dr. Andersson’s leadership laid the foundation for the achievements we celebrate today,” said Chelsey Edwards, the newly appointed OTD program director. “We are committed to building on her strong legacy.”

The graduation ceremony took place Aug. 14, at New Life Community Church. Faculty, family, and friends celebrated the graduates’ accomplishments.
