UAA doctoral student competitively selected to participate in occupational therapy institute

Gloria Reynaga, a student in the collaborative Creighton University/UAA occupational therapy doctoral program, was recently selected as a participant for the American Occupational Therapy Association and the American Occupational Therapy Foundation (AOTA/AOTF) first annual Summer Institute of Future Scientists in Occupational Therapy. Gloria was competitively selected for one of only 20 spots from students across the United States.  The program will match potential student scientists with doctoral and post-doctorate mentors. Gloria will attend the Institute on May 20, 2016 in Pittsburgh, Pa., and the "Building Bridges in Intervention Research Summit" on May 21-22, 2016.  The purpose of the Institute is threefold: (1) to identify potential scientists in entry-level education programs; (2) to connect potential entry-level scientists with mentors in the occupational therapy scientific community; and (3) to develop a peer network. The scholarship will cover all expenses to attend the Institute and Research Summit.
