The RSA was well represented at last week’s event put on by the California chapter of the National Rehabilitation Association at San Francisco State University. The event was a chance for Rehab professionals and students to meet and to network. Our department chair, Dr. Robert Williams, was honored for his contributions and continued support of the Rehab program. Safeway was also honored for its continuing efforts to employ persons with disabilities.
Many thanks to Dr. Julie Chronister for introducing our new student organization to the Rehab community (and thanks for the shout-out for the new website)!
Please congratulate our very own rehabilitation counseling student, Misty Trujillo, for her 2nd award for her paper titled, “Persons Living With HIV/AIDS Contemplating a Return to Work: A Social Cognitive Career Theory and Constructivist Theory Perspective.” She has been awarded the 2009 graduate student literary award from the National Rehabilitation Association. Her paper will be published in NRA’s flagship journal, Journal of Rehabilitation. Congratulations Misty!
