Employment opportunity for COTA

⭐️ Faculty Highlight⭐️

Professor Coty Dennler had the opportunity to join the NBCOT Awards Committee meeting this past weekend in San Antonio, Texas. It was a great experience collaborating with occupational therapy professionals from across the country and contributing to conversations that recognize excellence within the OT profession.

Today, UC Occupational Therapy Assistant students and faculty had the privilege of volunteering with the Special Needs No Limit Invitational at Woodrow Wilson High School.

We are so proud of our students for showing compassion, encouragement, and servant leadership while supporting athletes, families, and the community. Opportunities like this reflect the heart of occupational therapy — promoting participation, inclusion, and meaningful engagement for all.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this event such a positive and memorable experience!
