Yesterday, we officially welcomed the Drake University OTD Class of 2026 during the Blue Coat Ceremony. As they cross the stage and don their blue coats, it is a rite of passage to the start of their #OccupationalTherapy education journeys. 🎉
Today is the day! The incoming first-year Drake OTD students will receive their blue coats during the Blue Coat Ceremony at 4 pm CDT. View the livestream of the ceremony at live.drake.edu.
Assistant professor Stacey Huffman took a trip to Cultivating Hope Farms to discuss collaborative opportunities with Drake's OTD program. Dr. Huffman instructs a course on nature-based therapy (OTD 253: Special Topics). We look forward to future collaborations!
This morning, Drs. Rienoso, Decker, Huffman, Rognes, Murray, and lab facilitator Mallory Asbe received training to use the College’s Anatomage Table - an interactive 3D virtual technology for learning human anatomy and physiology - and implement it in their instruction.
Alumni, current students, experiential educators, and partners of the Drake OTD program: What advice do you have for the entering Class of 2026? Share in the replies. ⬇️
Hey, Class of 2026! What are you looking forward to most at Drake? Let us know in the replies. The countdown begins until orientation - 12 days! ⏱️
