Yesterday we lost a very special OT, Janet Menke who was one of the founding instructors to start the OTA Program here at the Mesa Campus. She loved to plan themed events, use props while teaching, and promote advocacy to the students within the OT field. We hope she was proud of how much the program has grown because of what she started!

Our hearts are with her daughter, grandchildren, and those who were close with her. All the cohorts are truly grateful for your knowledge, passion, and energy! We love you Ms. Menke!

Please take this time to share one of your favorite memories of Jan or your condolences to the family.
