The Department of Occupational Therapy envisions a future in which our graduates transform clients’ lives through the power of occupations to promote health and well-being. The mission of the department is to to develop occupational therapists who:  (1) understand the power of meaningful occupations and use occupational engagement across all contexts to enhance quality of life, improve health and well-being and reduce health disparities, (2) lead the delivery of collaborative and high-quality occupational therapy services with clients, professionals, and systems, supported by research and service, and (3) practice innovative, ethical, and evidence-based occupational therapy to transform clients’ lives in the region and beyond.
