The newest members of the Occupational Therapy Assistant program recently celebrated their completion of Southwestern Community College’s program with family and friends at SCC’s Jackson Campus.
Sarah Jane Blackburn and Abigail Plemmons of Waynesville, Marissa Dean of Canton and Jessica Koch of Franklin completed two years of intensive classroom studies and clinical experiences, and a pinning ceremony was held in their honor on May 15.
“In our profession, we have the opportunity to help individuals gain – or re-gain – mobility and independence,” said Anna Walls, Southwestern’s OTA Program Coordinator. “It’s an extremely fulfilling career, and all four of these young ladies are going to be wonderful representatives of SCC and our program.”
