This past weekend, many of my classmates and I traveled to Sacramento to attend OTAC Conference! As the second-year OTAC student delegate, I was responsible for helping with the student track sessions and as a student ambassador, I volunteered at the OTAC Rose Float booth and our USC Chan booth. Although I had a packed schedule, it was so much fun collaborating with students and faculty from different programs across the state! Some of the student track session topics included: grassroots advocacy training, OTs role in the NICU, stress management and lifestyle balance for OT practitioners, as well as many other exciting topics! As a student attending conference, we were also invited to attend the President’s Reception, where the work of OT/OTAs in pediatric, early intervention, and school-based practice were celebrated. We were also able to explore the Exhibit Hall to network with exhibitors and listen to poster presentations from OT practitioners and students! As a special bonus treat for being a proud Trojan, students were also invited to attend the Trojan Alumni party. This reception was sponsored by our Trojan family and allowed us to network with past and current OT faculty while enjoying some refreshments. Here are some of my pictures from our wonderful weekend at conference!

We had the opportunity to explore Sacramento during our free time! Do you recognize that building we are standing in front of?!

Doesn’t our USC Chan OT booth look amazing?! Thank you to my wonderful classmates who helped put this entire booth together!

As always, I hope you’ve enjoyed my blog! 😊
