Occupational Therapy Club

The Occupational Therapy Club, sponsored by the Health Professions and Prelaw Center, provides pre-OT students, or those who are simply considering OT, the opportunity to arrange and hold meetings with OT admissions representatives, guest speakers, students who have been admitted to OT programs, and others. The club also provides members with the opportunity to network with regards to shadowing and volunteer opportunities. We also occasionally arrange opportunities for members to simply socialize and get to know one another! ($5.00 per semester fee for all members, current and new.)

Note: If you are pre-occupational therapy, or even just contemplating a career in OT, please join the OT email list so you will receive timely announcements about upcoming events pertinent to the field.

We also recommend that you periodically check the HPPLC Events Calendar for OT-related events and information sessions.
