What is SOTA?

An occupational therapy student organization created to encourage professional development, leadership in the field of OT, and networking/communication opportunities with practitioners, advisors, professors, and other OT students.

 

Why should I become involved with SOTA?

SOTA is a great way for OTD 1's to bond with the older OTDS and to give back to the profession of OT and the university.

SOTA also provides OTDS access to current issues and problems the field of occupational therapy is facing.
