We love moments that show how close-knit the OT community really is. After visiting the MSOT Weekend students earlier this month to share about VOTA and the importance of professional engagement, Savannah Howe (VOTA President) later stopped at a coffee shop in Poquoson, VA. To her surprise, she ran into one of our students, Lilly, who recognized her right away from the presentation and took a moment to say hello.
Savannah said it absolutely made her day, and it’s a great reminder of how connected and welcoming the OT world can be — even outside the classroom. We’re so proud of our students for building these relationships and representing SU DOT with warmth and professionalism wherever they go.

🎉 Faculty Spotlight: Dr. Jenny Morgan

We’re excited to celebrate one of our incredible adjunct professors and Shenandoah Post-Professional OTD alumna, Dr. Jenny Morgan, who was recently awarded professional development funding through SU’s Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning (TTL).

This award provides reimbursement for faculty pursuing growth opportunities that enhance their teaching practice. Dr. Morgan received $600 in support to complete two courses through Magna Publications:
🎓 Practical Solutions for Faculty: Engaging Students
🎓 Principles of Effective College Teaching

We’re so proud of Dr. Morgan’s commitment to lifelong learning and excellence in education. Her enthusiasm for developing engaging, evidence-based teaching practices enriches the learning experience for our MSOT-Weekend students.

The SU Division of OT deeply values our adjunct and part-time faculty, whose dedication and expertise make such a difference in our students’ journeys. Congratulations, Dr. Morgan! 👏
