"What a great experience I had with your students during the certification examination preparation course!  I was most impressed with their maturity and respect for each other and for the profession.  They had so many things going for them:  they were inherently bright, committed to occupational therapy, clear about the roots of the profession in occupation, knowledgeable about various areas of practice, and above all they came with a positive attitude."  International Educational Resources faculty, July, 2005.

From a prior student:

"Hi everyone I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank each of you for being such great educators and people. My time at Sacred Heart was a time in my life that I will never forget and all of you had an instrumental part in that. I also wanted to let you guys know that I PASSED my certification exam. I took it on Monday and got my results yesterday so I am so EXCITED!! I know my diploma says I graduated in December 2005 but I really didn't feel I had accomplished my overall goal. I actually kept my diploma in the envelope that it was mailed in and now that I have passed my boards I feel that it is FINALLY over and I can now frame that diploma. This whole experience was so worth it. So thank you again for everything you have done in and outside of the classroom."   Laura C., OTR
