Celebration of Scholarship

The 19th annual Celebration of Scholarship, took place on April 29, 2011 on the Dallas/Presbyterian campus. 

Pi Theta Epsilon-Dallas Chapter presented Dr. Ellen S. Cohn, ScD, OTR/L, FAOTA as the keynote speaker for the 2011 COS event. Dr. Cohn's presentation, “Health Disparities: What’s OT Got To Do With It”,  explored case studies from two research projects designed to better understand the everyday lives of parents of children with asthma and adult veterans with hypertension, as well as explanatory models of health and wellness among these groups.

It was an honor and a pleasure to have Dr. Cohn visit our campus.
