POTSDAM â Clarkson University Doctor of Physical Therapy student Paige Weston â23 has been awarded the Kafka-Phillips Memorial Scholarship.
The scholarship was created to celebrate two people who shared a deep love for life and adventure and strong dedication to the physical therapy profession, Kathleen Kafka, and Reed Phillips. It was established in 2014 by their classmates, the DPT Class of 2016, and the Physical Therapy Department.
Dr. Vicki LaFay, program director of the PT Program says, âPaige is a strong and committed student, who clearly shares many of the traits exemplified so well by Reed and Kathleen. She seeks to support her peers, makes herself available to others inside and outside the classroom, and finds ways to demonstrate her dedication to the profession even now as a first-year DPT student. We are proud to have her and the other excellent candidates for this scholarship representing our program in the community and beyond.â
