This past Saturday, members of the Duquesne University Student Occupational Therapy Association (SOTA) had the opportunity to volunteer at the Tropical 5K in Pittsburgh! We are proud of our students for giving back to the community during National Rehabilitation Week, supporting a fun and healthy event, and representing the values of service, leadership, and community engagement. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make the event a success!
