O.T. Honor Society Welcomes New Student Members

by Erin N. Kelly, BS, MOTS

Pi Theta Epsilon (PTE), the OT Honor Society, welcomed 12 new members into the organization on March 13, 2016. These new members join the current 26 occupational therapy PTE students. Pi Theta Epsilon is a national honor society and recognizes the academic and service accomplishments of members.

This year’s Induction Ceremony featured guest speaker and alumnus Lisa Livingston, M.S., OTR/L, (’10). She spoke about engagement in occupational therapy from a practitioner’s perspective in order to motivate students to be their best self. In addition, the senior members were recognized for their involvement in PTE, while graduate student Robin Kreiser, BS, MOTS, was congratulated on her academic accomplishments because she is presenting her Honors in the Discipline research at the AOTA National Conference in Chicago next month.

The Upsilon Chapter of Elizabethtown College prides itself in being highly active; they volunteer and participate in multiple service events on campus and in the community, and they host and sponsor events featuring influential individuals.
