Outreach Collaboration Request Form

General Comments

Graduate Programs' Orientation (OTD and DPT) Given recent challenges in mental health and resiliency, last year we had Emu Aragon from the Counseling Center lead a 1-hour group session in orientation that provided students with strategies for dealing with the stress of full-time professional graduation education such as knowing your “why”, analyzing what is within or outside of personal control, positive thinking, proactive planning, and self-care. Note that our students have ~25-30 seat hours/week in school, so in addition to being academically challenging, the programs are also very demanding in time. The session is tentatively scheduled for Friday, August 19, from 3-4pm in Mapp 302. We expect ~60 students (PT and OT combined).
