Welcome to sota! 9/20/16

What is SOTA? Our mission: SOTA is a Student org that provides members with opportunities to volunteer and provide services for the community. The org raises awareness for the profession of occupational therapy on campus and in the community. Members of the organization will uphold the values of the university and the occupational therapy profession. Strive to make the organization a welcoming and accepting community in which we can come together and learn from and support each other while helping out in the community and on campus
