Message from the Chair
Dear Trojan Family,
Occupational therapists across the nation and around the world are bound together by a shared purpose—to help people engage in all the ordinary and extraordinary activities that life has to offer. Since 1942, the University of Southern California has worked toward that shared purpose.
