Why Choose OT? Our students have plenty of reasons.

At this year’s CSH Fest, our students were out in full force advocating for our profession and sharing why OT is essential to community health, accessibility, and client-centered care.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table to chat about our field and explore where a career in occupational therapy can take you!

Top Photo: Five smiling students pose together indoors behind an occupational therapy informational table. The table is draped with a blue cloth and displays educational brochures, flyers, a blue balance disc, and sensory tools. In the upper-left corner of the frame is a red circular stamp badge reading “CSH FEST”
Bottom Photo: A large group of students gathers closely around the same blue-draped exhibit table in a brightly lit hallway, smiling at the camera. On the table, adaptive daily living equipment such as a reacher, long-handled sponge, and dressing stick is neatly arranged alongside brochures. In the bottom-right corner of the frame is a circular badge with text reading “WHY CHOOSE OT?” in yellow and white lettering.

This summer, a team of DePaul OT and SLP students participated in a 10-week internship with Dr. Veronica Llerena In Partnership with Weaving the American Dream, a local migrant-led cooperative. Funded through a grant from the DePaul Vincentian Endowment Fund (VEF), students applied their perspectives on everyday participation and communication to support collective community goals.

At the heart of the project was understanding how to strengthen communities using a mutual aid model, appreciation of personal narratives, recognizing community members as co-educators, and honoring grassroots leadership every step of the way.

Join us in welcoming our newest Occupational Therapy cohort! ✨

These future OTs crushed their orientation and officially kicked off classes this week! We are SO excited to see all the incredible things this group will achieve. The energy they brought was unmatched!

Speaking of energy... talk about some serious OT school spirit! Check out this UNREAL back-to-school OT-themed nail set created by one of our incredibly talented incoming students! 💅🍎 This is the kind of passion and creativity we love to see in our future therapists. How amazing are these details?! (Swipe to see the close-up!)

Wishing everyone a fantastic first week of classes! Let’s make this a great quarter!

A huge shoutout and thank you to everyone who joined us for our SOTA volleyball mixer on North Avenue Beach this past weekend! We had an incredible time and are so grateful for all the support.

It was amazing to see so many familiar faces and, even better, the new ones! This event was a wonderful collaboration between our 2nd year students and our incoming cohort. It was the perfect bonding activity to get everyone together to meet and build connections before the quarter officially begins.

Starting strong and building community right from the start. Here’s to a great year!

A massive congratulations to our first-years!🎓

Their first year is officially in the books. After a tough finals week, these students are officially 50% of the way to becoming practicing Occupational Therapists.

They’ve grown so much this past year, and we are incredibly proud of their dedication to this program and field. We can’t wait to see all they accomplish in the second half of their journey!
