- Donna Drynan, Tal Jarus and Michael Lee receive TLEF Grants
Congratulations to Donna Drynan, Tal Jarus and Mike Lee, who recently learned that their TLEF projects were funded!
Donna Drynan’s project, titled “Bridging the gap between theory and practice: Implementation of T-RES for occupational therapy fieldwork placements,” will design, pilot and evaluate a web-based tool that allows students to record their daily patient encounters and reflect on these learning experiences while in the placement setting.
Tal Jarus’s project will develop and test a Personalized Accessibility (PA) Plan for students with disabilities in the health and human service disciplines. The two-phase project will identify specific factors and strategies that can assist students with disabilities to fully participate in university professional programs.
Mike Lee’s project, “Building Synergy in Promoting Mental Health Awareness Across Campus Using a Student-Led Participatory Action Approach” is a continuation of the work done by the Mental Health Awareness Club (MHAC) established in 2010. Using a participatory action approach, this project will identify if and how stigma affects students’ lives, and engage students to better inform initiatives aimed at improving students’ mental health awareness, their health and academic success.
