The Pinning and White Coat Ceremony was hosted at The Lincoln Theatre in Marion, Va. and celebrated the accomplishments of this outstanding class over the past two years and ushered them into the latter half of their doctoral program while recognizing students’ individual achievements. A video presentation of their past two years in the program was presented.

An award for the highest number of service hours was presented to student Gillian Reed of Carmel, Ind. “I was drawn to this program because of its devotion to serving the local community and working with underserved populations,” Reed said.

Recognition of the Class Student Occupational Therapy Association (SOTA) Officers was presented by faculty adviser Dr. Amy Evans and included President Jacqueline Pereira, Vice-President Emily Bennett, Secretary Daniela Armstrong, Treasurer Tate Rutherford, Historian Mia Verdeschi, Social Chair Kirsten Clancy, Intramural Chair Tyson King, Co-Chair for Service Gillian Reed, Co-Chair for Service Ashley Underwood, CATS Chair Genesis Utz and COTAD Chair Shania Ibrahim.

Emory & Henry started offering Occupational Therapy in 2016 as a Masters program and has since graduated 128 students from the program. The Masters of Occupational Therapy was replaced by the doctoral program in the fall of 2020. Students in the program can be eligible for loan repayment from the Va. Tobacco Commission should they work in the region for two years and offer 50 hours of community service. There is now a new Gateway to Health Sciences tuition discount program for E&H undergraduates who meet the requirements to be directly admitted to the School of Health Sciences programs for a 10% savings off tuition.
