Congratulations to our Doctor of Occupational Therapy students on reaching an important milestone in their academic journey. Earlier this week, students in the Class of 2027 participated in the Blue Pinning Ceremony, recognizing the completion of their classroom studies and the transition to Level II fieldwork experiences.

As they begin this next phase of their education, we celebrate the commitment, resilience and passion that have brought them to this moment. We look forward to seeing all they accomplish as future occupational therapy practitioners. 💙

Celebrating a remarkable career and lasting legacy 💙

Today, the Department of Physical Therapy at the College of Health Sciences at UM-Flint gathered to celebrate the retirement of Allon Goldberg, Ph.D., professor emeritus of physical therapy and associate dean for research and professional development.

Throughout his career, Dr. Goldberg advanced research in aging, mobility and fall prevention while mentoring students, supporting faculty scholarship and helping strengthen the college's culture of research and professional growth. His leadership and dedication have left a lasting impact on the physical therapy profession and the countless colleagues and students whose lives he touched.

Thank you, Dr. Goldberg, for your years of service, scholarship and leadership. We wish you all the best in retirement.

Honoring Juneteenth through community, connection and service ❤️💛💚

This past weekend, Julie Jacob, director of the occupational therapy program and professor of occupational therapy at the College of Health Sciences at UM-Flint, joined several first-year occupational therapy students at the Juneteenth Harambee Breakfast hosted by Higher Quality of Life Ministries in Flint.

As occupational therapy practitioners and students, they are committed to promoting health, participation and quality of life within their communities. The event provided an opportunity to connect with community members, share information about occupational therapy and reflect on the significance of Juneteenth, a celebration of freedom, perseverance and the progress made throughout our nation's history.

We are proud of our OT students and faculty for their commitment to community engagement and the meaningful connections they build through service and outreach.
