Purpose into Practice: How Education Meets Impact at Carlow University
The Ripple Effect, July 2026
Before choosing a career path, many Carlow University students begin with a different set of questions: What am I called to do? How can I be of service to others? That perspective is what shapes a Carlow education.
At Carlow, a degree is more than preparation for a first job. It is preparation for meaningful work, long-term growth, and leadership in fields that need skilled, ethical professionals. In this edition of The Ripple Effect, you’ll see that mission in action through stories of excellence in education, healthcare, advocacy, the arts, and nursing.
For traditional students, working professionals, and adult learners alike, Carlow helps people turn purpose into practice and education into impact. READ MORE >>

Artist Emily Paige Armstrong Thought She Had the Future Figured Out
But She “Couldn’t Kick” Her Drive to Create
When Emily Paige Armstrong arrived at college, she thought she had her future figured out. She started as a biology major, driven by a desire to help people and build a meaningful career. But somewhere along the way, another part of herself kept demanding attention: the artist she had been trying to ignore.
“I could not kick this feeling that I wanted to create,” she says.
What followed was a gradual process of learning to trust her instincts. With the support of faculty, classmates, and the creative community she found at Carlow, Emily began building the confidence to pursue art seriously, eventually shifting her focus toward studio art and public murals.

Empowering Movement, Transforming Lives: Your Journey Starts Here!
The programs offered in the Department of Physical Therapy program at Carlow University encompass the Mercy mission to serve the community by promoting the dignity of every person, advocating for equity and inclusion to address matters of social justice. At Carlow, we believe that non-technical skills are equally essential to your health professional training as the technical skills. Our programs emphasize three important habits of healthcare practice: Heart (professional formation/responsibilities), Head (cognitive knowledge), and Hand (clinical skills). It is the training in the habits of the heart that will allow you to act above and beyond your technical responsibilities and advocate for your patients. We strive to graduate healthcare professionals who would use the following principles within their professional practice.
- Healthcare equity is the cornerstone of a healthy society.
- Health and wellness promotion for the population/community is essential in conjunction with individual patient care.
- Every individual is a leader who must be prepared for a dynamic healthcare environment.
- Clinical decision-making shall be based on the three pillars of evidence-informed practice (using the best available research evidence, applying clinical experience/expertise, and incorporating patients’/clients’ beliefs and values with empathy and compassion).
- Physical therapy graduates and clinicians must be proficient in clinical competencies based on the contemporary standards of physical therapy practice.
