Congratulations to Faculty and Students

  Assistant Professor Jacquelin Chamberlin received a Retired Educator's Commendation from The American Occupational Therapy Association recognizing her commitment to the advancement of occupational therapy education. Jackie's name will be displayed at the 2010 Awards and Recognitions Ceremony at the AOTA national conference in May 2010 as well as the November/December 2010 archival issue of the American Journal of Occupational Therapy.

Professor Chamberlin plans to retire from academia at the completion of this year, but it is predicted she will continue to contribute her expertise to the profession in many other ways.
