OTD Day of Giving
Dear OTD Colleagues, Alumni and Friends,
I hope by now you've heard about The University of Toledo's Day of Giving! It's an exciting time for the entire Rocket community to come together to show our support of the University and specifically the Occupational Therapy program! I am an advocate for our college and OTD program and made my gift as part of the Day of Giving campaign, Rocket Forward: You Launch Lives, and I hope you will join me in making one, too. The UToledo OTD program is making a difference!
