Pre-Occupational Therapy Club
The Pre-Occupational Therapy Club is for undergraduate students who are considering a Graduate Program in Occupational Therapy. The club provides students with the opportunity to learn more about the profession and interact with the faculty and students from the SHU Graduate Program in Occupational Therapy and with practicing occupational therapists from the community. Students can gain valuable information about the interview and selection process, pre-requisites, and volunteer opportunities, as well as socialize and engage in service activities.
"The Pre-Occupational Therapy club has given me insight into what graduate school and the career is really like. The club offers opportunities to learn about Occupational Therapy through graduate student guest speakers at meetings, and volunteering with children disabilities throughout the school year." -Allie Mastro, Class of 2020.
