The Tampa Bay Regional Campus (TBRC) and Fort Lauderdale faculty met Friday, November 5, for a departmental retreat. The retreat highlights included discussions of Tampa Bay’s recent accreditation experience, team-building activities, a tour of the TBRC Occupational Therapy (OT) department, and the collective creation of our department’s vision board. Ricardo Carrasco Ph.D., OTR/L, FAOTA, program director, welcomed our team with a delicious homemade meal.
The following two days the OT faculty attended the annual Florida Occupational Therapy Association (FOTA) conference. The conference was sponsored and held at the TBRC. Eighteen faculty, from the department of occupational therapy, presented their poster, short courses, and/or workshops along with students from both Fort Lauderdale and TBRC campuses. A special thank you to Beverly Seredick Murphy, OT.D., OTR/L, assistant professor, for her efforts in coordinating with the FOTA representatives and NSU to make this event happen.
Overall, the conference attendees were impressed with the campus, presentations, classroom space, building technology, and labs. The conference provided a great opportunity to promote all OT programs.
