DuBOIS, Pa. — Amy Fatula, assistant teaching professor and academic fieldwork coordinator for the occupational therapy assistant program at Penn State DuBois, was recently awarded the Pennsylvania Occupational Therapy Association (POTA) Award of Recognition. The award was presented at the POTA annual conference in Lancaster, Pennsylvania
Fatula was nominated by fellow faculty member LuAnn Delbrugge, who said, “to summarize all of Amy’s contributions to the practice of OT in Pennsylvania in a short narrative is challenging because I believe she is well known and her commitment to promoting OT in Pennsylvania is obvious. In the past 9 years Amy has presented short courses or poster sessions at four POTA conferences, presented an OTA focused session at POTA, and twice was a panelist at a POTA conference institute."
Fatula has spent numerous years volunteering in different positions for POTA. Currently, she is on the executive board and served as POTA’s district IV executive officer from 2019 to 2021.
