SOTA admin spOTlight Meet Eric, our new SOTA social activities chair! Eric admires the profession of OT because it’s such a diverse field. People who aren't familiar with it may think we only work on helping people get dressed or eating. In reality, OT can help with literally anything! In the future, he would be more than happy to work with the military, as a travel OT, or in a pediatric hospital setting. When asked about his favorite thing to do in the North Country, E...ric responded, I love hiking. I've climbed 7 [maybe even more now] out of 22 fire towers in the ADK so far and a bunch of other mountains. Skiing in the winter is also great! Oh yeah...I'm also trying to find a moose. In his new role, depending on the circumstances, Eric is excited to plan events with not only the OT classes, but all the health science programs. When asked for a fun fact, Eric replied, Usually my fun fact is that I can lick my elbow, but I've used that too much so...I once signed an autograph for someone because they thought I was Zac Efron. And that's a wrap! See you in the fall!

We reached our goal! Thank you to everyone who participated in this month long event and contributed generous donations to AOTPAC! We truly appreciate it. Thank you again for your support.

SOTA admin spOTlight Let’s give a warm welcome to Nicole, our new SOTA community service chair! Nicole loves OT because it focuses on the person and helps them develop a plan based on their needs to increase their quality of life. In the future, Nicole would love to follow her passion of working with the pediatric population in either a school, early intervention program, or hospital setting. Her favorite thing to do in the North Country is to hike and explore the many trails it has to offer! Nicole can’t wait to help find opportunities to volunteer and help the community in her new role. A fun fact about Nicole is that she’s certified in Reiki! Last, but nOT least: Social Activities Chair, Eric
