WSSU Occupational Therapy Department

So proud of WSSU OT Students Jordan Jones and Aubrey Aldaz for receiving National Society of Allied Health Scholarships! Way to go!

Congratulations to Dr. Chinno Ingram on a wonderful presentation last week on Leisure as a Lifeline! As part of WSSUs 2026 Curiosity Exchange, It was a powerful message on the importance of engaging in leisure for physical and mental health.

Congratulations Ms. Allison Calhoun on doing an amazing presentation Friday as part of the "Arts, Health Care, & Humanities in Action Symposium" held at the IGC. She spoke on "Why Occupational/Physical Therapists Should/Can Prescribe the Arts." Ms. Calhoun's presentation was well received by everyone, and she offered some great strategies while highlighting the incredible work being done by the Occupational and Physical Therapy Departments.

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and that your new year is off to a terrific start!
