STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

Ravin Rhodes

USC DPT 2026 Class President

“Being DPT class president has been one of the most rewarding and exciting experiences of my academic journey. It’s given me the chance to represent my classmates, advocate for their needs, and foster a sense of unity and support within our cohort”

“One of my favorite ways to connect with everyone and bring some fun into our intense PT school life has been through making daily TikTok vlogs and creative videos. ”

“Whether it’s highlighting a day in the life of a DPT student, sharing tips for practical exams, or just making funny skits about the struggles we all face, these videos have become a lighthearted outlet for stress and a way to bond with classmates. They have also helped to demystify PT school for prospective students and brought more visibility to the unique, rewarding, and sometimes chaotic journey of becoming a physical therapist. ”

“Combining leadership with creativity has made this role incredibly fulfilling and a true reflection of my passion for both people and the profession. ”
