OT Program Mission Statement
The OT program is guided by the Catholic Vincentian tradition which draws on diversity as a source of learning and understanding; nurtures an inclusive and welcoming community; and calls for action for the collective good. The mission of the OT program is to prepare occupational therapists to be effective and responsive agents of change addressing the diverse and most urgent needs of the Chicago community and beyond with a special concern for those who have historically been and currently are underestimated by society. Grounded in occupation and evidence, students will become life-long learners ready to practice social responsibility and work for the collective good of society.
OT Program Vision
To be nationally known as an inclusive and innovative occupational therapy program rich in diverse ways of knowing and learning, graduating transformative leaders ready to make the world a better place.
