Welcome to the NYU Occupational Therapy Alumni webpage
Maintained by and for OT alumni!

The group that became the NYU Steinhardt Occupational Therapy Alumni Board came together in 1997 to organize a tribute to Frieda J. Behlen, the OT department’s founder and first chair. The organizers had such a good time that the Alumni Board was formed in 1998 with the goal of creating an endowed scholarship fund, as well as a means of connecting with fellow alumni.

Currently, we organize the annual Anne Cronin Mosey Lectureship, which invites notable members of the OT community to discuss controversial topics affecting OT practice. The Frieda J. Behlen Occupational Therapy Scholarship fund continues to grow and awards two scholarships annually. To honor the legacy of the late Deborah R. Labovitz’ 1980 – 2000 tenure as Department Chair, we are launching the Deborah R. Labovitz Enhancement Fund. This fund will make possible enrichment for the Department and its alumni, projects that foster innovation and growth. We also host several social events each year that bring alumni, faculty and current students together to network and enjoy each other’s company. The OT Alumni Newsletter is sent to all programs’ graduates. OT alumni are invited to participate in the NYU Alumni Association, too. In fact, we are one of the most lively alumni groups at NYU!
