University of Utah

University of Utah had a booth at the 2016 ATRA conference in Chicago.

Dr. Sandra Negley was there! She was honored with the 2015 ATRA Distinguished Fellows award!

Dr. Negley gave me a pair of red “UV” eye protection sunglasses that say “Recreational Therapy” and University of Utah on them.

She said, “Your future is so bright you’ll need these glasses.”

I loved it! What a creative marketing idea.

I let Dr. Negley know that I had met one of her students at the conference.

Deborah “Debbie” Tysor (Doctorate student at University of Utah) had won the 2016 Peg Connolly Scholarship! Debbie was the room monitor for the pre-conference training session on Management.
