Departmental Committees

The functioning of the Department of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy is facilitated through the activities of several standing committees, each with representation from students, core and status faculty, and often, community partners. Members of the Department’s clinical community can share their ideas and questions with any of the committees through the Committee Chairs. On occasion, committees may actively solicit community feedback through on-line surveys on issues related to curriculum, research or continuing education.

Please contact a Committee Chair if you’re interested in becoming a member.
