Each student is linked through e-mail and course web pages with a practicing OT professional who serves as a personal mentor throughout the time the student is enrolled in the Occupational Therapy Program. Mentors comprise a broad range of geographic and cultural backgrounds, have diverse practice experiences, and subscribe to values that support our teaching philosophy. During the second semester of the program, the faculty assign students to mentor-prot g teams. Beginning with that semester and continuing until graduation, students engage in a series of structured interchanges with their mentors. Each semester, students are required to complete at least one specially designed assignment with input from their mentor.
Many students choose to interact more frequently with their mentors.
