Hey, hey, hey check out our NEW name!

As you have seen, or heard, or maybe not, our division recently received a large donation in which a renaming ceremony took place.  We are now called the USC Mrs. T.H. Chan Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy.  It was such an honor to be a part of this historic ceremony!  And I do really mean HISTORIC, this is the first time any division of occupational therapy has been given a monetary amount of this multitude.  We all at the Division feel very lucky that the Chan family donated money to our division to expand the research of occupational science and occupational therapy, and also increase our international relations, specifically with our colleagues in China.

Historic moments are nothing new to our Division. Did you know USC had the first post-professional degree program in occupational therapy in 1947? Or that in 1962, USC established the nation’s first two-year entry-level master’s degree?  Or in 1989, USC created the world’s first doctoral program in occupational science?  It is no wonder that we have remained ranked the #1 occupational therapy graduate program in the nation for more years than all other educational programs combined!  For more on history of USC Mrs. T.H. Chan Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy, visit this link

Fight on, Trojans! Fight on!
