Name:
Location: Indiana, United States

I became a Professor Emeritus after serving 29 years as a recreational therapy faculty member at Indiana University. I'm a long-time Hoosier, having grown up in Hanover, Indiana. My RT practitioner work was in psych/mental health. After completing my Ph.D. at the University of Illinois, my first faculty position was at the University of North Texas. RT has been a wonderful profession for me as I have had the opportunity to serve as an author and national leader.

Celebration is not a crime at ECU, the city of Greenville or the state of North Carolina, Shelton said. We're proud of the team, and we want to see our people celebrate. We're not out to manhandle fans and spectators. But the safety of the students, fans and athletes at the game is our first concern.
