Twelve graduates of Southwestern Community College’s Occupational Therapy Assistant program were honored during a May 9 pinning ceremony at the Jackson Campus.

Among the graduates were Micki Conley, Graham County; Kirsten Warstler, Asheville; Deanna Isaacs, Franklin; Allison Southard, Franklin; Holly Conard, Jackson County; Keltcie Hoppes, Forest City. Back row: Peggy Vos; Academic Fieldwork Coordinator, Joshua Nece, Buncombe County. Jayson Woods, Murphy; Brittney Rogers, Haywood County; Amelia Capaforte Jones, Franklin; Amy Justus, Franklin.

“I want to congratulate all of my graduates. My hope is that they go and serve the occupational needs of their communities!” said Anna Walls, coordinator of the program.

All graduates are eligible to take the national certification examination for occupational therapy, and upon completion of the this examination, graduates will then be certified Occupational Therapy Assistants. This will make them eligible to work in hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, schools, home health programs, and other places where people may need help rehabilitating through performance-based activites that are often required in every day life.
