Our Occupational Therapy Assistant students had the incredible opportunity to support Starry Night, a prom event celebrating individuals with special needs from across the tristate area.

Students applied classroom knowledge in a meaningful community setting by:
📝 Designing client-centered interventions
🎯 Developing individualized goals to support participation, engagement, and social interaction

Promoting inclusion and empowerment through meaningful leisure and social experiences

This event not only brought joy and connection to our community, but it also reinforced the heart of occupational therapy — fostering independence, belonging, and participation in valued life activities. 💙💛

We are so proud of our students for demonstrating professionalism, compassion, and creativity as they helped make the night truly unforgettable!

Check out Dr. Hape throwing down on the Pottery Wheel. We are super thankful to Dr. Hape and her compassion for the community!

Giving back is a part of the USI community, and that giving spirit was shown during Bowl-o-Rama on Friday, October 24. Faculty, staff, retirees and others gathered at the USI Ceramics Center to throw bowls for the upcoming Filling Empty Bowls for Veterans event.
